Our masters of ceremony this year are Gerre McPartlin and Tom LeClair. Gerre and Tom will be joined by a distinguished panel of local Irish judges. The Shannon Rovers Irish Pipe Band will open our event with their mesmerizing rendition of "Oh Danny Boy". There is no cost to participate in the contest and advanced sign-up is not required.
