Pre-order lunch

For your convenience, we will have The Paddy Wagon food truck available with some of the best of our local Doherty's Irish Pub! You can pre-order a selection from the menu when you register for the event. This will help the food truck plan for the event. You will also be able to order on-site, but pre-ordering definitely helps out.

Pre-order t-shirt

We've now had to cut off t-shirt ordering so they would arrive in time. We've ordered a few extra in popular sizes to sell on-site, first-come, first-served! Proceeds from shirt sales will go to the scholarship funds for dancers and other in the Scottish arts.
