Whether cheering for Notre Dame or partying on St. Patrick’s Day, Dan Smith enjoys celebrating his Irish heritage! He has passed that enthusiasm on to his 4 boys, ages 14, 11, 9 and 5—one son even plays the bagpipes! (Check out the beginning act on the festival stage!) Dan has done some research and knows his family came from a small town outside of Dublin back in the 1800s. Two years ago, he enjoyed working with the Irish team at the festival and was disappointed to see there wasn’t a booth again this year. That’s when he and wife Caren decided to partner up and bring it back!
They have a great team this year, and plan to make the traditional Shepard’s Pie, Colcannon and Irish soda bread. What Irishman wouldn’t be proud to serve that? Thanks Dan and Caren for continuing the tradition…we know several lads and lasses looking forward to visiting your booth at the festival!
