It’s been so nice outside which makes you hope that spring is on its way. Astronomically speaking, the March equinox occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator on its way north along the ecliptic.

In the northern hemisphere, the March equinox is known as the vernal, or spring, equinox, and marks the start of the spring season.

If the weather makes you feel like you would like to get out, we have a fun program for you. Whether you’re Irish or Irish-at-heart join us for an afternoon of fun at noon on Tuesday and maybe get the luck of the Irish.

Stop by or call us at 507-433-2370 to make your reservations for a St. Patrick’s Day feast. Make sure you tell us if you would like to have the corn beef meal for $8.50 or chicken Breast for $7.50. Bring your Irish friends and wear your green so you don’t get pinched. There will be a group singing familiar Irish tunes.
