The Feis was a great day out. When I was little, my parents used to attend, taking all the kids with them. At http://archny.org/seminary/index.cfmthat time, the Feis was held at the grounds of Lehman College (formerly Hunter College) in the Bronx. By the time I was an adult, it was held at St. Joseph's in Dunwoodie, which is a Catholic seminary with beautiful grounds. People would bring picnics and sit outside all day, listening to great music, or watching the dancing competitions and socializing. It was safe enough that we'd let my nephews run around and just have a great time. I'm not sure exactly when the Feis stopped being held there. There are many other feises being held all over the country, of course. Probably on any given weekend between Easter and Thanksgiving, there is a feis somewhere. But the one at Dunwoodie was, to me, the Feis and I look back on it fondly.

In any event, when I was looking for pieces to fill up my panels at the S/F shows, I looked at a few of the pieces I had left over from those days and reworked a few of them. Many S/F and fantasy fans, writers and artists are familiar with celtic mythology and use it as source material.
