A cool but sunny March 17 greeted St. Patrick’s Day revelers as they made their way around the region.
Those who were Irish had a special connection, while those who were not Irish, became Irish for the day.
In some cases, celebrations were held all weekend.
Bars, restaurants and pubs were busy serving Irish-themed foods, providing live music and even green beer was available at many of the stops.
St. Patrick’s Day action was steady at Eddie’s Sports Bar in Leamington as these folks gathered to celebrate. Sitting are Joyce and Mike Epplett, surrounded by, from left, co-owner Kim Medeiros, Rick McNeely, June Epplett, Kevin Steel and Kim McNeely.
