We want to thank everyone who helped make the inaugural Mackinac Island Irish Heritage Festival a rousing success. We especially want to thank the Hubbardston Irish Dance Troupe who joined us at the festival and later in the evening at Patrick Doud's Irish Pub. We also thank Mackinac Island Mayor Margaret Doud, Robert Chambers from the Windermere Hotel, Phil Porter, Director Emeritus of the Mackinac Island State Historic Parks, Ruby John who joined us on the fiddle and everyone else on Mackinac Island who helped. We especially want to thank the fans who turned out for the event. Thanks also to MiIrish.com and the Mackinac Island Tourism Bureau who provided promotional assistance.
