Special
Events / Calendar,
St. Patrick's Day
is the
Best Holiday of the Year at The Celtic
Fox, but the party has already started so don't wait until Wednesday
March 17th. We will participate again this year in the St.
Patrick's Day
Parade and a Great New Block Party will be on 8th Street in front of
the Pub. The best food, drinks and party will be inside The
Celtic Fox, located in the heart of all of the St. Patrick's Day
Activities.
The
Celtic Fox Mardi
Gras party was the best party of the year as we prepared for St.
Patrick's Day. Let's all remember to thank the Scott
family for planning this event and Steve Fox for booking the
band. We were excited to have The Rickey
Brothers (a great delta
blues band) and a tremendous group of patrons.
Kansas Day and Valentine's Day were celebrated with special
decorations, music and activities.
Ron Rumsey is planning a card tournament at the Celtic Fox & our
Spring
Golf Tournament
is
being planned by Ted Graff. Please send us an email

Maps and
Murals,
Map
to the Celtic Fox
The
family has added a
number
of touches to personalize the restaurant,
including several murals by Jeff Hisey, a Hallmark employee, and
Michaela
McCart. One, in the front of the restaurant, depicts Mike Fox's late
father,
Raymond, and Fox's uncle, Thomas Finan, in an 18th - century Guinness
brewery.
A
large map of
Ireland, with
clan names and where they originated, is on a
back wall. Alongside is a growing number of family crests, including
from the
Fox, Finan, Keating and Higgins families, Mike Fox's ancestors.
The
families also are welcoming crests from their
patrons to display. Members of the 190th Air Refueling Wing brought in
the
crest of Col. Mike O'Toole, who died in August while piloting his
private
airplane.
Parties and Bookings,
The
Celtic Fox's Back room is available by reservation. It is the
perfect place for any group to share food, drinks and thoughts.
It is a popular place throughout the year and particularly when the
Kansas State Legislature is in session.
History &
Legends,
The large stone and brick arch between
the bar and the side dining room contains stones from Blarney Ireland,
near the castle. This entrance was constructed to
resemble the St. James Gate at the Guinness Brewery. The wee
little people believe that if a pretty person rubs the stones properly
their wish will be granted. The Celtic Fox is located in a very
old and historic building that was built in the mid 1800's. The
third floor was the first location for the Washburn University Law
School.
The
Topeka Irish Committee,
The
Celtic Fox's is home of the Topeka Irish Committee, who sponsor the
Topeka St. Patrick's Day Parade, Breakfast, Dance contest and so much
more. This great Irish committee has over 850 members.
They are all invited to place their family coat of arms next to the
Pub's large map of the Emerald Isle.
