Milwaukee Irish Fest

We volunteer at Irish Fest every year. Over the years we have come to know that some things are constants.  The people here drink lots of beer. The people here are very friendly and they are still friendly even when you run out of beer. And I've never met an unhappy Irishman. Unless you run out of beer for more than 15 minutes.

We work at the Miller bar, usually bar number 4 or 5. We get to drink beer while we serve beer. It's the best volunteer job ever.

Another constant is that we will run into Bob Donovan sometime during our 4 hour shift.  We see him every year and he is a very nice man.  He is one of those politicians who likes to shake up the system.  I don't always follow the news and what he is up to but I do know that he is an alderman who is loved by his constituents. So I always thank him for his service to the community when he comes to our bar.  This year is a little different for him because he is running for mayor. So I couldn't wait to get a photo with him...he might be more famous some day than he already is.
