KCIrishFest

@DanMulhall Maybe you need another #J1 (just one more) visit, Mr. Ambassador. We certainly appreciate your fondness for KC.

I share my US counterpart’s pleasure in seeing the #J1 programme take off again this year. After all, I was a J1 student visitor to #Kansas City in the summer of 1974. And what a wonderful experience I had there. @KCIrishFest

Former Mrs. Irish Fest and matriarch of one of Kansas City’s great Irish families, Patty Regan passed away on Sunday and Mayor Q took notice.

Happy birthday, America! We hope each and every one of you has a Happy and Safe Fourth of July! #IndependenceDay #July4th #FourthOfJuly #Irish #IrishAmerican #KCIrishFest #KCIF2021 #SeeYouIn61Days
