| also to the month of May. Mother's Day weekend, May 8 and 9, enjoy the very best in art, dance and music celebrating the seven ancient Celtic Nations. Those nations include Ireland; Scotland; Cornwall; Isle of Man; Wales; Galicia, Spain and Brittany, France. Celtic music enfolds a variety of rich cultures, as various geographical areas contribute diverse backgrounds and flavors. Celtic Fest Chicago celebrates this history with music and traditions that date back to 300 B.C. This year, Celtic Fest Chicago will feature a full line-up of world-class entertainment both days including Ireland's The Saw Doctors on Saturday and the popular French Canadian group La Bottine Souriante to close the festival on Sunday. Highlights of the festival in Millennium Park include the Men in Kilts Contest on the Jay Pritzker Pavilion Stage on Saturday. This unique contest allows the ladies to pick their favorite set of legs in kilts; all brave lads can sign up at the festival. You won't want to miss the bagpipe parade through the park and bagpipe circle in front of the "Bean" or Cloud Gate. The Next Generation Stage will host local music school performers during the day and continue through the evening with established bands. On the South Promenade the FlyNovaScotia.com Gathering tent will feature the Harp and Uilleann Pipe music during the day and then the dance and music of Canada's Celtic Capitol through the talent of Nova Scotian musicians perform each evening. Celtic dancing will be performed, including Irish ceili dancing and Scottish country dance instruction in the evening on the North Promenade. Additionally, the Celtic Art Fair will be featured on both promenades. The festival begins at 11:00 am each day in Millennium Park located at Michigan Avenue and Randolph.

| (preferred) or UR SuperModels, will receive a COMPED ticket for this Premiere Women's Self defense class! These type of classes are very informative, and can sometimes be a little pricey- take advantage of them looking to build and connect with UR. They know how important it is or can be for women to know basic tactics. They also train police officers. They do not use their defense for competition, but for helping and awareness/protection. Hope many of you can make it :) Feel free to spread the word...tell them to say "Asha" for free ticket reservation. Event is in Chicago. www.iamselfdefense.com is the site with the time, date and location. Please have anyone interested RSVP me at dominick@izzo-training.com and mention your name and their association with you and their admission will be free. Thank you again, and we are excited to show you how our program is the best anyone has ever seen! Dominick "Not a Victim...Not Today!"
