Upcoming Events
Our club provides a wide range of activities for club members and their hounds.
Many of our club members don't show their hounds. It is important to us that the club offers events of interest for all club members. We have had great success and participation with many of our events.

Celtic Festival 2025
Save the date to attend the Grass Valley Celtic Festival May 2 -4, 2025 - great music, food and drink! Check out their web site: https://kvmrcelticfestival.org/
Admission, parking and camping, and entrainment are all free for NCIWC members who sign up with their Hounds.
The setting is in the gentle sloping foothills studded with lots of fir and pine trees with the sound of Celtic Music echoing through the hills. We are invited to participate in the Celtic Festival Parade and then attend the Queen’s Court to present the Hounds to the Queen.
We take turns sharing our magnificent hounds with the public so that an individual hound doesn’t get tired out, as well as allowing the public to take pictures with the hounds to the amazement of the Celtic Festival goers. It is always heartwarming to see a young child's face coming up to give our hound a hug or an elder person tear up because they are able to meet and greet an Irish Wolfhound once again in their life.
Later in the afternoon we will provide a 'meet and greet' and to give the history of the Irish Wolfhound and answer any questions. Last year we had a huge audience in the bleachers, and we got rave reviews!
As a reminder, if you plan to attend please let me know by April 10 at
jim.glenneyrie@gmail.com. You get free entrance, which includes access to great music, food and drink. But you must RSVP with me so that I can put you and your hound on the gate list.
If you have a trailer or camper, you can have free dry camping on the fairground’s property, just let me know how much space you need.
