Pittsburgh Irish Festival (PIF) moved locations but not too far outside of Sandcastle- just to the parking lots! PIF has a special place in Rachael’s heart as it was her first podcast recording and the podcast’s first nomination to the Golden Quill Award. Joined with Executive Director Mairin Petrone, top-of-the-mornin’ performances kicked off Saturday with a band jam including Grammy winner Eileen Ivers, international sensations The Screaming Orphans as well as worldly musicians Katie Grennan and Colm Keegan graced the stage to spread a little luck and melodies. Music: Irish Jam Band: Screaming Orphans, Colm Keegan, Eileen Ivers and Katie Grennan SPONSOR: Rohrich Honda is getting into the routine of fitting things in a FIT car to demo its roominess and ease of driving.  In two weeks the Rohrich Fit will be at the Pierogi Festival at Kennywood and at it again. It is where cool rides and pierogis collide.  This time guess how many pierogi holders can fit in a Rohrich FIT.
