Good morning!

Just a quick reminder that today is the last day to enter online for the OFA Friendship Feis on Sunday, July 27th, at the St. Louis HIlton- Frontenac! Register today at www.quickfeis.com!

You will still be able to enter on the day of the feis in-person with a late fee.

There are still hotel rooms available at the feis rate if you call the hotel directly at 314-993-1100 and ask to speak with Kelley or Rachel directly!

We have a fun-packed event prepared for you, beginning with our Rock & Reels and Adult Pre-Feis on Saturday after the conclusion of the An Samhra Feis, as well as our regular Sunday feis competitions, 2nd Chance opportunities for Beginner 2 thru PC, Future Champs, and our Ron DiLorenzo Perpetual Trophy Dance-Off for the top three winners in each PC/OC category!

This is a great late-summer feis to hit before school starts, especially if you're trying to level up or get those Oireachtas qualifications! Most of our competitions have smaller numbers, but still "count"!

Please let us know if you have any questions! We look forward to seeing you at the end of the month!

Hello, Friends!

The 10th Annual OFA Friendship Feis is just around the corner! You can still sign up online at www.quickfeis.com through Monday, July 14th. All unpaid entries will be dropped after that date. We will still accept in-person entries and changes on the day of the feis, but with late fees. No one likes to pay those, so be sure to get your entries in before that date!

The feis is being held at the St. Louis Hilton-Frontenac, convenient to Lambert Airport, and located right off Interstate 64. It boasts a shimmering outdoor pool, fitness center and sauna, and is located across the street from a luxury shopping mall (Plaza Frontenac), a boutique grocery store, several delicious restaurants, and of course, a Starbucks!. Annunziata Catholic Church is a five minute drive from the venue, and offers Mass on Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 9am & 11am for those wishing to attend. The hotel feis rate is $167 plus tax. Although the cutoff date for booking online has passed, you can STILL get this rate if you call the hotel directly at 314-993-1100 and ask for Kelley or Rachel!

Annunziata Catholic Church is a five minute drive from the venue, and offers Mass on Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 9am & 11am for those wishing to attend.

This year, we will hold the Rock & Reel on Saturday evening after the An Samhra Feis concludes, followed by the adult Pre-Feis (Second Chance for adult grade levels as well as adult teams) and get together!

We are also adding Future Champ Specials for Novice and Prizewinner dancers up to, and including age U-13!

You'll notice our expanded OC age groups directly mirror our MId-America Oireachtas age groups! We would love to fill each of these competitions so dancers can have an extra opportunity to compete against their Oireachtas competitors! The Ron Di Lorenzo Perpetual Trophy Dance-Off will again be held at the conclusion of all PC/OC awards, and is open to all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in PC/OC competitions.

Lastly, be sure to check out our online store, where you can purchase our official 10th Anniversary t-shirts, hoodies, and crewneck sweatshirts! The link expires this Friday, July 11th, so get them here while you can: https://shopcompustitch.chipply.com/OFAFriendshipFeis/?action=viewall The artwork is SO CUTE!

We look forward to seeing you in St. Louis at the end of the month! In the meantime, enjoy your summer! See you soon!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at the OFA Friendship Feis
