Subject: Are any of the Chicagoland feiseanna scheduled for the fall going to happen? On the main ID board some are saying they are looking to move the O out of Illinois due to COVID restrictions. Wondering if any feiseanna can happen in Illinois right now.

1. Lots of kids won’t have done a FEIS in months. Practice at home and do your best.

2. When officials are deciding if a FEIS is too risky or safe...one of the things they are not (and should not) be taking into account is “if kids will be prepared for Oireachtas.

The Oireachtas is “important” only to Irish Dancers. It isn’t even close to as important as public health or slowing this virus!!! If

[> Indy? -- No name, 12:06:08 09/04/20 Fri (75-25-60-201.lightspeed.arlhil.sbcglobal.net/75.25.60.201)

I signed up with TCs and paid for O in Schaumburg. Not Indy. Hoping that if venue is changed we are given option for money back. Just in case it’s needed for some. Moving locations has impacts. Some people might have family members with additional risks and adding hotel stays into mix might change their decision.

The following verbiage was e-mailed to the teachers:

"Entries Deadline Extended - The entry deadline has been extended to September 8th. (please note that Sept. 7th is a holiday)
This extension will give us time to do the work and get a definitive answer out to everyone as to the exact location for the event. We will have the information on the site to share with you by early next week so that in the case we are forced to choose Indianapolis you can inform your families and make decisions based on where the Oireachtas is going to be located. If an entry has already been made and a dancer wants to withdraw before entries close, we will allow that withdrawal and refund the fees."

Given today is September 4th, if you have already registered, I recommend you e-mail or call your teacher to let them know if you definitely don't want to participate in Indianapolis. The teachers were supposed to vote early this week on Indy or canceling the event altogether. I haven't received an update, but imagine we will have news today or tomorrow.

[> [> [> [> Asking out of curiosity, if they have Oireachtas in Indy this year, does that mean 3 of the upcoming 4 Oireachtas will be in Indy? Not a complaint.
