About the same percentage here, too, but I grew up in a little Irsh town, and I recall many St. Paddy's Day celebrations growing up. This little town I grew up in would gain about 10,000 additional visitors on St. Patrick's.

Our little celebration was a lot of fun. The campus was fairly empty, as it's spring break, so we were able to get a nice room to meet in. We had corned beef and cabbage, carrots, onions, and potatoes. Potato cakes. The most delicious soda bread with Irish butter. For dessert, we had these things called "Irish spuds," which looked like little potatoes but they were really a candy--some type of coconut center with cocoa dusting to make it look like a little potato. Fun. I really enjoy my fellow union members--true camaraderie.
