Another successful fundraising effort by the Center for Prevention of Abuse. They've been doing it for 35 years now.

Irish Fest finishes up weekend of fun, food, and Irish culture

https://www.25newsnow.com/2023/08/27/er ... re-peoria/

Good to see quite a few festivals happening on the riverfront, and no reports of incidents of crime.

One more next weekend, with the Peoria Blues and Heritage Festival Sept. 1 and Sept. 2. Blues fans are looking forward to this event. I like some Blues, but already have plans next weekend.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Once again, the Skimmer attacks!!
I also wrote, "Good to see quite a few festivals happening on the riverfront, and no reports of incidents of crime."

This includes the Park-a-Palooza June 10, Red, White and Boom July 4, Riverside Pridefest July 15, Fiesta En El Rio July 29, River City Soul Fest August 5 and 6, That's not counting the CEFCU stage Concerts and the Saturday morning Peoria Farmers Market.

Tell me if your usual Conservative biased news sources or social media said anything about violence at these events?

@WAPJoe, apologies for making this thread political

You mentioned Erin Feis. That's what I was responding to.

My post was not necessarily aimed at just Irish Fest (Erin Feis).but all festivals. Guess I could have made it more clear to you, unlike your comment in another thread about "impeachment" in a thread that doesn't involve the President. Chew on that.

It's spelled Erin Feis, or more accurately, Erín Feís.

Fixed it. Didn't check it before posting, plus I use Smartphone 97% of time when posting here, and I swear keyboard is off by half a key.

I'm sure you have an elaborate system of a high powered PC with 2 to 3 monitors so you can monitor other sites as well as this one several hours a day. Or you use a separate tablet just for WAP. But I digress, don't bother to answer that.

Nope. I post some on a regular ol' PC with one monitor, some on a tablet, and some on my phone. Thanks for asking though, WAP Online Time Police.
