Hey, look at this cool program we have coming up this Thursday at the Irish Cultural Center. It is about COOPERING, bucket- and barrel-making. It will be a very interesting presentation, beginning at 7pm. You could head to the ICC early for a bite to eat in the 5 Points Pub, which would make it an even better evening!! Free tickets must be ordered through Eventbrite, which will allow us to limit attendees in order to stay within state guidelines. We will also have a Doorprize or two. Come on over to the ICC to hear Bob Allers talk about Coopering!

Here's a great new slip jig from some of our favorite musicians!
