This year’s Saline Celtic Festival – July 7, 8 at the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds—has two ‘legal eagles’ volunteers working hard to make the event a success.
Michigan State University student Evan Thomas, studying Social Relations and Policy, with a minor in Philosophy and Law and interning at Washtenaw County’s 14B District Court, is Chairman of Social Media Marketing and Festival Promotion.
Festival treasurer Terri Murphy previously worked as Education Coordinator for the Michigan Association of Municipal Attorneys (MAMA), and together with MAMA Past President Peter Letzmann—a leading expert on municipal law—coordinated speakers and programming at events all over the state. She played a key role in the establishment of the AMA—Academy of Municipal Attorneys—a certification program developed by MAMA in 2010.
Murphy worked on various MAMA projects with the late Allan Grossman, former Saline City Attorney, who was involved in the Saline-Brecon Friendship Guild that led to the founding of the Saline Celtic Festival.
Murphy has worked diligently to make the festival ‘dementia-friendly.’
“ We see ourselves as a community festival – and we know not everyone in the community has the same mental or physical abilities so we’re doing everything we can to make it an event for everyone,” she says.
She adds that the new location has made it easy to address many accessibility issues—including free onsite parking, accessible bathrooms, smooth walking paths, and braille-embossed schedules.
Pipe and drum bands from this area include the Grand Rapids &?District Pipe Band; and Montcalm County Honor Guard Pipe &?Drum band.
Celtic bands include The Founding from Kalamazoo, Crossbow that originated in Grand Valley State University; and Whorled, a new band from Grand Rapids.
