March 7 we joined dear friends and family at the annual Irish Fair at Pomona Fairgrounds near Los Angeles.
The Fair, which has gone on for several years, features Irish music and dancing, food, and merchan- dise. We were unable to get good still shots of most of the musical groups or dancers, but if you're ever in the area around St. Patrick's day, plan to spend time at the Fair! While a variety of Irish music groups performed, we especially enjoyed a group called Slugger O'Toole, whose CD we bought to enjoy on our travels.
It was great to share the experience with our friends, Marianne, Mike, Marge, and Norman--all educators! Marianne is Anita's cousin; Marge is a college friend. The women are all part Irish; the men are Irish by choice...
We had dinner with Marge and Norman at a beach restaurant near Marge and Norm's home in Los Angeles. Note the ferris wheel in the nearby amusement park.
