| Note:
Family Event Fee: In an effort to make the Feis morning smoother and less hectic we charge a Family Fee Event. A single Family Event Fee of $16 will include processing fees, admission for the entire family and a Feis Program. Wristbands will no longer be sold or required. All family members are encouraged to come and enjoy the Feis at our new home. If you must register dancers from two or more different families at the same time, remember that a separate Family Event Fee must be paid by each family. The fee allows the many costs of running the Feis to be jointly shared by all families. Whether or not you use all these services, you are required to pay the entire Family Event Fee. There are no exceptions. Parkng is NOT included in the Family Event Fee |
