Dear Surfers --
On behalf of the Manhattan Youth Athletic Association, we would like to thank all who made Manhattan Irish Fest 2001 possible !!!
Our sponsors, workers volunteers and patrons have made this event the kickoff celebration for the entire Chicago Area.
This year, we tried opening up the fest on Friday night.  It was great.  But the weather on Saturday... The 2001 Manhattan Irish Fest may go down in history as the the nicest day in the 7 year history of the event. The "luck" of our Irish that day was in a beautiful, sunny, but cool day for all of the events.
Thanks again to the hard-working volunteers and patrons who bring success to this event.
Kevin Molloy, Vicky Burns & Steve Erbeck
