Dublin Irish Festival 2010 - Redhead Photo Gathering - Day 2

Dublin, Ohio, United States of America

Redhead World sponsored the 2010 Dublin Irish Festival and helped create a new redhead gathering at the festival. Redheads came together on each day of the festival to socialize and take a group photo.

The Dublin Irish Festival is the second largest Irish festival in the world with seven large stages of entertainment, music, and dance, as well as numerous exhibits, Irish food, sports, games, and much more. Another big attraction for redheads is the Irish Contests held in the Wendy's Wee Folk Tent on Sunday. There are three contests: Reddest Hair, Greenest Eyes, and Most Freckles with three age divisions including adults.

Redhead World attracted members from Colorado, New York, District of Columbia, Nebraska, California, and Oregon to the festival to participate in the redhead group photo.

While there are certainly sufficient redheads on the festival grounds – with more than 100,000 admissions per weekend – we did fall far shorter from having the world's largest gathering as hoped. Still, with a couple hundred redheads on the Sunday shoot, and with word spreading around, we hope we can do the event again and with a bigger crowd.

Tweaking our way of getting the word out certainly helped on Saturday.	Some people stopping by the Redhead World tent.
A visit from featured site member, SunSoar! In keeping with her mysterious face-hidden photos of the time up until recently, we have her face hidden again. ;-) She unfortunately couldn't stay late enough for the big group redhead photo.	A big difference from Friday, lots of redheads were ready to go at 7pm. Lots of friends and family cheering them on and taking photos of the spectacle too. :)
More anxious redheads.	Funny how all the redheads are avoiding the sun. ;)
The crowd keeps growing!	After talking with the festival's official photographer, we decide the ground won't do for such a large number of redheads. So all with red hair head for the bleachers of the sports field.
CelticCurls holds up the makeshift posterboard to mark the meeting point.	Some slight delays as the fence is torn down hurriedly to make way for a mob of redheads.
More anticipation...	All the redheads get in position on the bleachers.
Making sure the photo is perfect!	Hurry up! These redheads can't be in the August sun much longer. ;-)
