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!
