Dublin, Ohio St. Patrick's Day 2010

Dublin, Ohio is on a list.  The list.  Of the top 10 places to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the USA.  (It is highly possible that the information you have just read was completely fabricated by the author, who despite a tendency to take creative license with some pertinent facts, should be trusted with utmost confidence in all other matters.)

This year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations are slated for March 13.  A pancake breakfast sponsored by the Lions Club will be held at Sells Middle School 150 W. Bridge St. from 7:00 am until 11:00 am.  ($6 Adults and $4 children under 12)

Let the Celebrations Begin!

Summer is officially full on!  June is quickly becoming a memory (it’s been two whole days now) and it’s time to turn focus to July.  July is a special month for us as a nation for in this month we celebrate one of the most significant events in our short history.  My birthday!

Some like to think that the parades and fireworks displays, backyard barbecues, cookouts and community gatherings centered around the July 4th weekend are in celebration of our nation’s independence.  Whatever helps you sleep at night, friends.  That stuff is for me!
