Erin is calling: St. Patrick's Day is on its way!

With less than two weeks left until St. Patrick's Day, it's time to get your plans in order!


First: Be sure to have some green ready and waiting.

Second: Find yourself a local city or neighborhood St. Patrick's Day parade to attend. Visit the site that bills itself as "the largest Irish parade website in the world" to find the date, time and location of one close to you.

Last, but certainly not least: Make plans to join us for our online St. Patrick's Day "parade" - the 12th edition of the Carnival of Irish Heritage & Culture! Last year's event was so much fun. Don't miss out on joining us this year. No Irish bloodline is required - just a love for Ireland and the Irish. Share your articles on anything and everything Irish for our carnival by the deadline: March 14, 2009. On St. Patrick's Day, March 17, we'll all gather together here at Small-leaved Shamrock for the big celebration! Hope to see you there!
