We wanted to share this incredibly thought provoking and poignant short story written by our dear friend Michael Plemmons. He is the author of Fianna and the catalyst for the inspiration behind our Fenian Raid. Enjoy!
The Fenian Raid Celebration is held annually on Labor Day Weekend in Port Huron, Michigan. This historical reenactment event brings Port Huron's post Civil War era to life.The celebration commemorates an attempt by the area's Irish-American population, the Fenian Brotherhood, to invade British North America (Canada) and use it as a bargaining chip with the Queen of England to free Ireland.

Fenian Raid 2013 has been POSTPONED
It is with extremely saddened and heavy hearts that we must inform you that the Fenian Raid Celebration is postponed for this year. However, we will be back Labor Day weekend 2014 (Saturday, August 30 & Sunday, August 31) even bigger and better! We have lots of exciting new adventures about the Atkinson Brothers and little known stories about their dedication and contribution to furthering the dreams and visions of the Fenian Brotherhood and their personal dedication and commitment to growing the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan. Please mark your calendars for this fun filled family event. (And thank you for your kind understanding and consideration.)
