Labor Day weekend is synonymous with the Kansas City Feis and Irish Fest for us now! Yesterday, Christopher competed against two other boys in his second OC competition. He placed third out of the three boys in his group but he was definitely in some tough company! The boy who won placed 2nd at Oireachtas last year and was 19th in the world and the boy who placed second won Oireachtas, won last years Nationals and placed 9th in the world. The nice thing is the boys all kind of stick together and Chris says they are pretty nice. The kid who won also won the previous week when Chris competed in St. Louis and he and Chris worked together later in the day to hand out awards at the award ceremonies.
Chris also competed for the first time in a two hand and a four hand ceili dance with girls from his dance school. The girl he danced with, Millie's dad covertly recorded them! I was happy because I was working a different stage and didn't get to watch that part of his dancing...
And today was Irish Fest! The dancers had an amazing crowd turnout and they did great! Here is J with me while we waited for the dancing to begin...
And Christopher's best friends came with their families to watch as well!
Here are some of the numbers that Christopher was involved in...
