Wendy and I love St. Patrick’s Day when we get to let our Scotch and Irish genetics take over. This year, with our recent move, we did not have much time, energy or resources to plan something special. Fortunately for us, the Pella Opera House and it’s fabulous Executive Director, Kevin James Patrick Sean Francis Ian Aengus Joseph Ennis “Lucky Charm” McQuade, made a simple evening of celebration with enjoyable people possible. They did all the planning. We simply showed up and enjoyed.

The Opera House offered a free showing of The Commitments complete with popcorn with plenty of Irish, adult beverages available for a reasonable price. Wendy and I invited our friends Matthew and Sarah to join us and a good time was had by all!
