PATRICK’S DAY AROUND THE WORLD Today, people of all backgrounds celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, especially throughout the United States, Canada and Australia. Although North America is home to the largest productions, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in many other locations far from Ireland, including Japan, Singapore and Russia. In modern-day Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day was traditionally been a religious occasion. In fact, up until the 1970s, Irish laws mandated that pubs be closed on March 17. Beginning in 1995, however, the Irish government began a national campaign to use interest in St. Patrick’s Day to drive tourism and showcase Ireland and Irish culture to the rest of the world. Today, approximately 1 million people annually take part in Ireland ‘s St. Patrick’s Festival in Dublin, a multiday celebration featuring parades, concerts, outdoor theater productions and fireworks shows.

I think everybody has just one question on their minds these days - will winter ever end? Apparently the last time we had such cold weather was in 1888 (whew) Hopefully March will bring better days. At the dining room we have had to make minor changes because of the outbreak but I am sure we will get back to our normal routine fast. You will be seeing a couple of new hires and I am sure they will help us make your dining experience as enjoyable as ever. Please stay warm. See you in the dining room.
