Thank you all for attending this year's Clare Irish Festival brought to the city by the Clare Area Chamber of Commerce . With all that mother nature threw at us, Clare still can make it work with the help of our community members.

A big thank you shout out to the DPW Crew, the Clare Police and Fire department, the City of Clare, the Sheriff's department, MyMichigan Hospital, and Clare Public Schools.
Thank you to the support of all our chamber members and sponsors for the festival, your continued support helps in not only bringing this festival but all the festivals into Clare.
Thank you to the Irish Festival Committee, and the countless volunteers, the people showing up and working at their jobs through this week. It takes so many things to make all the events, all the components work so well for everyone who comes to Clare to enjoy themselves.
A huge shout out to Season and Sherry at the chamber your hard work and long hours this past week made everything go so much easier, thank you both.
If I forgot to mention people or things I apologize in advance.

We look forward to seeing everyone next year at the 52nd Clare Irish Festival!

Shari Buccilli, President Clare Area Chamber of Commerce
