Hooray! St. Patrick’s Day!

St. Patty’s Day began as a religious feast day in the 17th Century observing the death of St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland. Since then, St. Patrick’s Day has evolved into festivals across the globe celebrating the Irish culture with parades, foods, music, dancing and a whole lot of green. So let’s celebrate! Coming up this March 17th plan to invest in some paper, paint and, oh, yes, marshmallows! This fun, do-it-yourself activity will leave your group with their own pretty painting and even a snack. So sit back, relax and pop open that bag of marshmallows – you’re going to need ‘em!
