Kaptains Klub
Essentially, the Krewe of Blarney is established as an organization to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and to promote the Eureka Springs Downtown parade.
The Kaptains’ Klub, plural for Kaptain, is comprised primarily of business persons and state and county elected officials. Cohesion of the Klub is brought about by like-minded, agreeable persons who each share an equal vote in decision making.
The concept is to gather 10 to 20 persons who will promote the annual parade, select the grand marshal and colleen for each year, and supervise the parade as well as conduct two “Socials.”
The two socials shall consist of a pre-parade “Toasting” of the dignitaries and a post-parade “Corn Beef and Cabbage Free Bash” for all Parade Participants.
The Kaptains of the Klub shall wear a Tuxedo garnished by a green sash and lead the parade as they carry beads or a Flower Cane in greeting parade viewers . The “Walk” is less than one-mile distance from the Library to the Historical Museum where waiting vehicles will carry the Kaptains in leading the motorized part of the parade to the Rowdy Beaver Restaurant and Tavern.
It is most desirous to have a harmonious group that will seek not only to advance the business climate of Eureka Springs and to enhance it’s economy, but also to promote and heighten each other’s business endeavors.
The Krewe of Blarney made its first appearance in 2006, and the Krewe Banner was carried in the 2007 parade.
