Ireland may be a relatively small country, but each year, St. Patrick’s Day reminds us of the important influences its citizens have had on the world, and it allows us to celebrate with renowned Irish hospitality.
Each year in Wakulla County, the Lion’s Club pulls out all the stops to throw an incredible St. Patrick’s Day Festival that has something for everyone. So pull your most stylish green outfit out of the closet and get ready for Saturday, March 12, 2016, when the Lion’s Club will once again help the citizens of Wakulla County engage in a fun-filled celebration of Irish heritage.
