“We would attend as many St. Patrick's parades as we could, and really enjoy the day. We have had a lot of really memorable St. Patrick's Day celebrations since then, but that one would be hard to beat. “It was our goal to get open again by this St. Patrick's Day.

I got to work and celebrate with so many amazing regulars. “My husband is Irish, and I found out recently that I also have Irish heritage,” McLaughlin said. For many, it's about traditions that have been passed down, like Maureen Hiemstra, who said, “On St. Pat’s Day we gather as a family and eat our traditional meal of corned beef, cabbage and potatoes, and Irish soda bread. “As a young girl, I can remember going to the Houston County Parade. They celebrate BIG in Erin. I loved it so much, I continued this tradition with my own children," she said. It's been a while, and I'm out of practice, but I hope to find others to dance with. St. Patrick's Day has become a much-celebrated holiday in the United States, featuring lots of drinking and revelry and a few unusual traditions. Today, about 10% of Americans claim to be of Irish descent, and cities throughout the country celebrate the day. The foods I remember eating most in Ireland were fish and chips.” “My oldest son was born on St. Patrick's Day,” Janet Holleman said.
