St. Patrick's Day

Although many of the festivities took place over this past weekend, Thursday is officially St. Patrick's Day, which gives you one last excuse to put on your green and get out to celebrate.

Thousands of people lined the streets in downtown Fort Collins on Saturday morning, March 14 for the annual Lucky Joe's St. Patrick's Day parade.

Did you know that there is a CSU surplus store that is packed to the rafters with amazing gear, some that has even been made for the specific sports teams?

St. Patrick's day has to be one of my favorite holidays because I honestly don't know the real meaning for it, I use it as an excuse to drink green beer and eat a ton of food. Along with the beer and the food come a lot of other great things in Fort Collins.

St. Patrick's Day is upon us and you've no doubt got your Irish pub crawl planned. But tomorrow? Step away from the Bloody Mary. The hair of the dog may go down easy, but it won’t cure that hangover. Instead, try these remedies that we swear by—and some (sour pickle juice?!) we’ll pass on:

If you’re “celebrating” St. Patrick’s day by simply donning your favorite green t-shirt, you’re doing it wrong. Do it right this year: parade through the streets, pack your bags for Dublin, get pelted by the contents of the grocery store’s produce section, or even run a marathon.

With St. Patty's day right around the corner it's nice to know that right around the corner beer could be getting cheaper!

While many people associate St. Patty's with heavy drinking and pub crawls, in Ireland, St. Patrick's Day is a historically solemn and sober holy day for Roman Catholics. Believe it. Until the 1970s, pubs were actually legally required to close up shop for the day.

The Irish Car Bomb (a shot of Bailey's plopped in a pint of Guinness) is a popular drink around St. Patrick's Day, though some be surprised to hear it didn't originate in Ireland. In 1979, Charles B. Oat created the drink at Wilson's Saloon in Norwich, Connecticut, according to a booze blogger who studied bartending under Oat.

Come St. Patrick's Day everyone's Irish, and they all want to express their newfound ethnicity with goofy hats or at least some green gear. I found the ten most bizarre St. Patrick's Day crafts on Etsy that you'd only buy after a few pints o' Guinness. Erin Go Barf!
