I met Lara, her daughter Anna, and Anna's best friend Ashlynn at the Pomona Fairplex where the Irish Festival was going on. Like other "cultural" festivals, I think this was just a reason for people to get together and drink. The sheep herding demonstration was more about the guy tooting his own horn than the dogs and sheep. The only upside was that I got to hang out with my friends on beautiful Sunday and listened to some decent live music.
