Volunteers from the Irish Sports and Social Club, the Celtic Heritage Society, and the Irish White Rock Club all helped to sell advance tickets and worked in the Ireland booth during the day.
In the entertainment area, the Moore School of Irish Dance gave an excellent performance and they are always a big hit. In the evening, Three Row Barley was the featured entertainment at the dance and they were warmly welcomed by the audience.
