West Lafayette: Join us for the annual Indy Irish Fest Irish Toast Contest
Join us on Saturday, September 5 at 10 PM sharp for the annual Indy Irish Fest Toast Contest. Several years ago, our local winner ended up winning the trip to Ireland!
Here's how it works:
Participants must be at least 21 years of age
Toast must be about an Irish subject such as love of Ireland, Irish culture, literature, alcoholic beverage, humor, or Irish lad or lass or other related recognizable Irish subject matter
Toast presentation may be from an original composition or a toast previously written
Toast must be no longer than 60 seconds
Toast can not be read (no notes allowed) at competition
Profanity is prohibited (judges discretion)
Illegal or inappropriate conduct is not to be allowed and will be grounds from expulsion from the contest
Participant is responsible for his/her own volume of consumption of alcohol
Previous toast winners are not eligible
Participants will be judged on toast subject matter, creativity, oration, and crowd applause
The winner of the contest at Nine Irish Brothers will advance to the Indy Irish Fest, where s/he will have the opportunity to win a trip to Ireland.
Example Toast:
Here's to the beer we love to drink, and the food we love to eat
Here's to our wives and sweethearts, may they never meet.
Here's champagne for our real friends, and real pain for our sham friends,
And when this journey finally ends, may all of us find peace. Slainte!
