Wow! Hats off to everyone who attended the first-ever Irish Night for Literacy at the Hangar on the Hudson - it was a great crowd and a memorable evening. Triskele provided wonderful music and humor; the An Clar School of Irish Dance gave a fabulous performance with both hard and soft shoes; Dan Dolan and his top-notch staff from the Hilton Garden Inn, Troy, served up a delicious corned beef and cabbage dinner; the Hangar on the Hudson afforded a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and a great time was had by all.
