PRESS RELEASE:
Lawler Irish Fest is pleased to introduce “The Don’t Be Brothers” playing the main stage on Friday, June 21 from 7:00 pm – l1:00 pm. All entertainment is under a tent and some seating is available, though it is expected most visitors will bring lawn chairs. No coolers are allowed inside the beer tent itself.
Larry Kernagis and Larry Diemer, “The Don’t be Brothers” have been entertaining crowds throughout the midwest for many years. These Irish American Folksingers & Merrymakers, by their own admission, know enough Irish songs to choke a leprechaun!
There will be several other activities on stage as well; please see our program for details. One such activity will be the crowning of the Lil’ Lad and Lil’ Lass contest. Entry forms can be found on our website, along with contact information if you have questions.
Don’t miss Friday night’s fantastic free-will admission entertainment!
The festival committee is still in need of volunteers and would love to have you participate in this 1st ever event. You don’t need to be from Lawler or even Irish! This is a great way to meet lots of people, make new friends, and help make this inaugural event a success. Also, you’ll get into all entertainment on Saturday FREE!
