    Talking Happy St.Patricks Day!

    Irish colonists brought Saint Patrick's Day to what is now the United States of America. The first civic and public celebration of Saint Patrick's Day in the 13 colonies took place in Boston, Massachusetts in 1737. During this first celebration The Charitable Irish Society of Boston organized what was the first Saint Patrick's Day Parade in the colonies on 17 March 1737.
    The first celebration of Saint Patrick's Day in New York City was held at the Crown and Thistle Tavern in 1756, and New York's first Saint Patrick's Day Parade was held on 17 March 1762 by Irish soldiers in the British Army. In 1780, General George Washington, who commanded soldiers of Irish descent in the Continental Army, allowed his troops a holiday on 17 March. This event became known as The St. Patrick's Day Encampment of 1780. I think the goverment today should follow that example!
    Today, Saint Patrick's Day is widely celebrated in America by Irish and non-Irish alike.

    The presentation went great. What was supposed to be a 20-30 minute talk turned into an hour. The first graders seemed captivated as well as the 3 teachers. They had lots of questions about the kilt and about St. Patrick. They all clapped at the end and each of the 3 teachers thanked me and said they learned a lot as well. One of the teachers said that the children would be talking about it all day. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to educate these young minds. I would be willing to bet that here are about 75 first graders that would come to your defense if anyone teased you about wearing a kilt.
