Being of Irish heritage, I inherently loooooove St. Patrick’s Day. Going to school at Saint Mary’s College at Notre Dame, I learned (from the best!) how to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. Follow that up by 15+ years living in Chicago where the Chicago River is dyed green every year is some excellent Irish training. Hope… Continue reading Saturday Sweeps: St. Patrick's Day!
