          • That is comparing apples to oranges. The Oireachtas stage is much much larger than regulation size. I saw the collisions in Windsor with the U14s. Too small a stage, very dangerous, these kids could get hurt badly. No reason in it just to save 10 min!! (NT) -- Canadian dancer, Thu, September 10, 07:13:35am

• Don't worry, I'm the same way. :) Have you tried mapquesting or google mapping it to see which route comes up? At 9:30pm I don't think traffic will be too bad whichever direction you head (NT) -- :), Sat, September 05, 11:21:02am

  • I have, it says go through Buffalo. But I am worried about all the construction. Been stuck late at night over the summer. (NT) -- 3dancersmom, Sat, September 05, 12:39:08pm
    • I am leaving late Friday as well. I am taking the Gananoque route, but my google maps tell me to take Buffalo...no idea which one will be the better of the two, but my instincts r telling me Gananoque (NT) -- hope i'm right, Sat, September 05, 01:12:10pm
• I think Buffalo is preferable. As much as Toronto to Buffalo can be messy, that route along the 401 towards Kingston is miserable, too many big trucks, too many curves, too dark, I really don't like it at night. The route 90E over to Syracuse to Syracuse is straighter, fewer cars, fewer trucks but more cops so watch your speed. If you aren't leaving till late you shouldn't have much trouble from here to Buffalo. It's also shorter that way. Cross at Fort Erie, it's almost always better than Queenston Lewiston. Call 18007156722 on your way and it will give you the best border to cross. (NT) -- have a good time, Sat, September 05, 02:37:54pm
  • thank you, is there a number to call about road construction too? (NT) -- 3dancersmom, Sun, September 06, 09:30:36am
• As a Rochester resident, may I suggest:: -- Upstate Feis'er on the Freeway, Sun, September 06, 08:34:40pm
• Suggest crossing at the Rainbow Bridge versus the Peace Bridge. Peace Bridge will be heavy with commercial trucks at night. You may also want to look at staying somewhere between Buffalo/Rochester Friday night to have shorter drive in the morning. (NT) -- x, Sun, September 06, 08:44:22pm
  • Either Peace Bridge or Rainbow Bridge will be very slow at that time of night for car traffic. Queenston is always a crapshoot & they experience very long delays. A few weeks ago when in TO for a weekend, we found that construction east of TO was wayyyyy better than west of the city. (NT) -- Niagara local resident, Sun, September 06, 10:49:29pm

• I attended and it was fantastic. Had 2 sets of entertainers: Michael Kelly, who was fabulous and the band "Fiddlestix" who were unbelievably awesome!!!! Bfoc dancers did 2 shows, Riverdance style, that were excellent! Had planned to only stop by for an hour or two but ended up staying 'til the end -- 6 1/2 hours. Terrific evening of entertainment and craic!!! (NT) -- Hope it becomes an annual event., Sat, September 05, 11:46:20pm
  • It would be great if this became an annual event. I don't know what the attendance was like but hopefully it can be held on a non-Feis day. Also Buffalo Irish Festival was same weekend. Would have made it if we could have. (NT) -- BFD, Mon, September 07, 06:41:55am

• Agree!!! Was a GREAT venue!!!! Grade results were posted really fast as well. Only complaint, and not about the Feis, but I did notice a few PARENTS who I'm assuming were told to use tennis balls for their chair legs, then when dd's & ds's were finished, just took them off then threw them along the side of the wall....volunteers shouldn't have to be garbage collectors too. (NT) -- Great Feis!!!, Sat, August 29, 05:31:07pm

(NT) -- my experience, Thu, August 20, 08:59:09am
    • St Cat's has been oldest to youngest for a several years now. Unionville last year ran the youngest and the seniors concurrently first which worked well because both groups are typically smaller. I thought it was nice for the young kids to get a chance to watch the older dancers and vice versa. (NT) -- .., Thu, August 20, 09:25:45am
