Photo Notes:
1. Even though Eire Born deferred from participating in the CelticFest parade in downtown Vancouver today because of the rain, Vic and Pat still had to go! Their services, along with the Eire Born van, had been requested by the parade organizers to provide music during the parade and the "Celtic Circle" group dance performance at the conclusion of the parade. It turned out that only one Scottish dance troupe required their music services. Thanks for your generous 6 hours of community service at the parade today guys!

2. The sweet girls in the Shamrocks troupe decided to go to Oakridge to surprise Courtney and her co-workers with a little dance show. Unfortunately, Courtney was not at work today, but it was a very nice idea!
