Dearest friends, family and other fellow (or honorary), Irishmen and Women
PJ and Lisa are once again going to celebrate the love of all things Irish, and some American too, at our home in Cottage Grove.
RSVP: Please let us know if you can make it, via text, email, on Facebook or otherwise, in person etc. We don't want to run out of delicious corned beef and cabbage brats before you arrive, our special custom order delights from Bongard's. You can't get these anywhere else!
The bonfire will be blazing and the beer will be cold.
Be sure to wear your green otherwise...watch out. Why you ask?
Check out this fun info I found:
Pinch me, I’m Irish
Forgot to wear green on St. Patty’s
Day? Don’t be surprised if you get pinched. No surprise, it’s an
entirely American tradition that probably started in the early 1700s.
St. Patrick’s revelers thought wearing green made one invisible to
leprechauns, fairy creatures who would pinch anyone they could see
(anyone not wearing green). People began pinching those who didn’t wear
green as a reminder that leprechauns would sneak up and pinch
green-abstainers.
