What a FANTASTIC and memorable time we all had for three days on March 17th, 18th and 19th. Sixteen of our original group of Forever Friends who traveled to Ireland in September of 2009, gathered together in Wisconsin for a fun extended celebration of St. Patrick's Day. We were later joined by nine more local friends. In that short time, we covered a lot of territory between the Dells, Madison and Fox Acre cabin. Our stops included The Del Bar in the Wisconsin Dells, Erin's Snug Irish Pub and Brocach's Irish Pub in Madison, and finally the Red Fox Irish Pub cabin in the woods of Wonewoc. We traveled by plane, car, Dells Ducks and even a red double decker bus that took us on a tour of the capitol city of Wisconsin. Along the way we sang Irish songs together and were even serenaded by a Master bagpiper! Our final day was a festive celebration of Irish food, drink, music and most of all, friendships that were renewed and strengthened. The Parting Glass found us all looking forward in anticipation of our next gathering in October in Vermont. See you there!
A very big thank you to all who made a great effort to be part of our first F.F. reunion!
