Our local Irish Festival 2018 was held yesterday on St. Patrick’s Day, of course. I had a vendor booth displaying my books along with fellow author Bella Fayre. The weather was a bit windy, but that’s to be expected in March. Being part Irish I had to dress appropriately as most of the attendees did. The biggest surprise was the number of dogs. Their owners had them decked out in green — some with neckerchiefs, beads, hats and dresses. The darlings added to the celebratory atmosphere.
