FEIS UPDATE

Thank you for all your emails regarding our feis. We have reached our cap.

We cannot open it up to anymore than we have, as we had to eliminate a theater from our contract due to low registration. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Planning, organizing and financing a feis as big as the O'Rourke feis is quite complex and we had to make this decision to ensure a cultural and financial success, which is the goal of every feiseanna.

We look forward to seeing you all at our 10th Annual on February 1st, and hope to be strong enough to see you again in the future.

The schedule will not be posted any earlier than Tuesday, January 28th.
