<strong>DISCOVER</strong>! | MARCH 10, 2018 Community | 9 KATE HARLOW | STAFF WRITER Emmetsburg hosts annual St. Patrick’s Day Party Get your Green on The luck of the Irish can be found on this side of the pond on St. Patrick’s Day in Emmetsburg. Once again this year, the town will be celebrating its Irish heritage with a full week of fun, from Sunday, March 11, through Sunday, March 18. It is a celebration that got its start in 1961 when “a group of Irish lads, believing ‘no one loves a parade more than the Irish,’ donned green derbies, carried their coat of arms and marched proudly through the main thoroughfare of Emmetsburg, on March 17, the feast day of Saint Patrick,” according to their website. From that year onward, the celebration has grown. The event kicks off on Sunday, March 11, with the Junior Miss and Miss Shamrock Pageants. Then things pick up again on Thursday, March 15, with an Irish Baked Potato Bar and the Emmetsburg High School Talent Show. Friday, March 16, will have a few other fun activities including a Fish Fry at the VFW Hall and a St. Pat’s Bean Bag Tournament at the St. Pat’s Heated Tent, which will be located at 10th Street and Broadway. Saturday, March 17, is actually St. Patrick’s Day, and is packed full of fun events so there will be something for everyone. The day starts bright and early at 8:30 a.m. with the O’Round the Loch Scholarship Run. That is followed by the Chili Cook-off Contest; Kid Zone with free face painting, crafts and a donut hole eating contest; the Langered Frolf Tournament, a frisbee golf or disc golf tournament; and the Potato-Bar-A-Palooza. Chainsaw artist Jeff Klatt will also be in attendance showing off his Irish creations. Two of his carvings will be auctioned off later that day. There is also Irish Stew at the Multipurpose Senior Center. Then it’s time for the big event. The parade. It’s the part of the whole St. Patrick’s Day Celebration that St. Pat’s Board president Stephanie Mehan is looking forward to the most. “Having a lot of parade entries already turned in I’m looking forward to a great parade,” Mehan said. “As many others do also, I always look forward to hearing the Bagpipers play. We have became great friends with many of them as we had them play at our wedding as well. Sadly, they will be unable to attend this year.” Following the parade there will be the eighth annual Social Gathering of the Clans that will take place at the Emmetsburg Fire Department. The Riviera Theatre will be hosting a free movie following the parade. This year the movie being shown is “A Dog’s Purpose.” The evening will wrap up with a performance by Scott Larson and Keifer Brandt Band at the St. Pat’s Heated Tent from 6:30-10 p.m. There will be Irish music and a beverage garden. The event wraps up on Sunday, March 18, with a pancake breakfast at the VFW and a trap shoot at Sportman’s Park.
