Quirky St. Patrick’s Day Tradition

This is Ryan with 300 words (or less) to make your Monday a little less taxing-

-and to inform you of a strange St. Patty’s Day celebration in New London, WI: the St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Irish Fest.

Apparently each year the Shamrock Club of New Dublin devote a whole week of St. Patrick’s Day events starts when club leprechauns rename the town to ‘New Dublin’. The events include; an evening of Irish entertainment, an Irish Ceili with a band and caller/teacher, Irish caroling, and an Irish wake parody. Corned beef and cabbage is served in the area in restaurants that week too. The parade and Irish Fest top off the week on Saturday.

Any ways to extend a celebration is okay by me.
