Millarville Racing and Agricultural Society: ST. PADDY'S DAY PUB NIGHT

Green beer, Guinness, live music, great pub food, pots of gold, shamrocks and all the green you'd expect awaits you at St. Paddy's Day Pub Night set for 7pm, March 17th at the Millarville Racetrack Hall.
Both old and young are welcome with movies, crafts and green punch for the kids.
"We want to make it as Irish and fun as we can without actually being on the Emerald Isle," quipped Threepoint Kitchen & Catering chef Stephanie Quackenbush, organizer of the event on behalf of the non-profit Millarville Racing & Agricultural Society. "A local musician, Bill Battensby, will provide his usual excellent music and we know the food and fun is going to be fabulous."
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids, either in advance at the Millarville Racetrack office or at the door but for MRAS members and invited guests only. If you would like to be invited, please call the MRAS office at 403-931-3411.
St. Patrick's Day, St. Paddy's Day or just Paddy's Day is a yearly festival of celebrations around the world. It is an annual feast that celebrates Saint Patrick who was one of the patron saints of Ireland.
St. Patrick, then known as only Patrick, lived in Britain and then France before eventually finding himself in Ireland where he achieved Sainthood, converting the Celtic people to Christianity, using Ireland's famous three-leaved Shamrock as a symbol to explain the Holy Trinity.
St. Patrick died on March 17th and mourning by the Irish soon turned to a celebration of his life. The custom of celebrating St. Paddy's Day has since spread around the world.
