No Blarney Bash for Dublin Ohio, two years running

Today I looked anxiously for information on the city of Dublin Ohio’s web site regarding the Blarney Bash. I contacted the city when I didn’t find anything describing the event that has been located by the Crown Plaza. Carina was nice enough to confirm that the event will not take place this year. According to her, they were unable to secure a contract with the Crown Plaza. I think what she meant is that they didn’t contact the Crown Plaza. Linda Emmons from the Crown Plaza stated, that they have not been contacted by the city regarding the event.

Other events are still taking place, including their parade. Part of Carina’s email is copied here.

This year before the parade there will be the 4-Mile Run and a silent auction, games and vendors at Indian Run Elementary School (located on 161). Following the St. Patrick’s Day parade there will be an event called the Blarney Hop (American Cancer Society) at the Shoppes at River Ridge with inflatables, vendors, crafts, etc., which is located just east of the Scioto River on 161.

There will probably be more events as the date approaches. All of this information will be posted on our website at www.dublin.oh.us ( http://www.dublin.oh.us/ ) within a few weeks.

You can contact our Event Administrator, Buddy Caplinger if you have any further questions.

Disappointed but not surprised. Apparently, the city of Dublin has its hands full with the Irish Festival held in the summer. We had a grand time at Fado’ at Easton last year and are looking forward to visiting again. Anyone with a better idea, let us know.
