Celtic Revival in the Park; music, dancing and a some preaching that I didn't expect

Ok, so maybe I didn't research this event that was in Rotary Park today... and maybe the I should have been forewarned since the word "Revival" was in the title.

However, I was clueless as to the content of what I was going to attend, other than I expected some Celtic music and dancing like you get on the PBS specials.

I got a bit more than I bargained for. It was like seeing the Partridge Family if Billy Graham had been their father. The singing, dancing and music were great, but it sure did feel a whole lot like "Church in the Park".

Although I try to be a good person, I am not a "holy roller". Preachy people make me edgy. Far too many of them are too fake for me, and do not live what they preach.  Actions should speak louder than words. 

So, I made the best of it for as long as I could take it, and in the meantime, I took in the scenery. There was a band of bikers. Believe it or not, they were the Christian Motorcyclists Association. Check them out. They "Ride for the Son".

Here is the Sky family website, too, if you are inclined to learn more about them. The are by their own claim, "Prince Edward Island's Premier Irish Dance Show."

I took a little video of 3 of the Sky family's children doing their Irish stepping. You gotta give 'em credit for being talented! They all played like 3 instruments each as well.
 I am a Putnamaniac who has hopefully not offended any of my religious pals today. There are a good and sincere many that I know!
