“T he pop cans ju st keep com ing in,” said a
spokesman for the ever-popular Shenanigan Fiddlers. “It
is just am azing that the people o f this com m unity are so
supportive o f our efforts to raise dollars to fund our group.
Through this effort we can continue to provide an unusual

Eventually, it is hoped that enough money can be
raised by next year to partially fund a trip to Ireland. The

to Irish fiddling taught by a noted Irish instructor.
