3 Ways to be Irish & Help Feed local kids!

February 26, 2018 by hometownhappenings

Share and share some more

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner!  Whether you are Irish or not, we have several fun ways for you to share your “Irish” pride this year while helping out a great cause.

Hometown Happenings is teaming up with Buddy Bags to provide weekend bags of food to school kids on the free lunch program.  Can you imagine being a kid and not being sure about your next meal?  The program is currently helping over 100 students who attend MacArthur Elementary.

How can you help?  3 easy ways!:

  1. Buy a t-shirt!  Featuring our bellowed Courthouse, what better way to show your Irish spirit at the Crown Point parade or at a party.
  2. Anyone can Run/Walk 1 mile! Join us for the St. Pat’s Pre-Parade 1 Miler right on  the parade route just before the Parade!  How fun to already have thousands gathered to cheer you on!  Sign up before 3/9 & the $15 shirt is included in your $20 entry fee!  This gives you ALL the fun of the event for only $5!
  3. Bring the family to “Are Leprechauns Real?” and hear the stories of leprechauns and other Irish tales from “Haunted Indiana” author Mark Marimen. Tickets are only $5 – the cost of a weekend bag of food for a local kid on the free lunch program.

As always, we appreciate you being a part of the fun and hope to see you wearing your “Crown Point Irish” shirt at one of these events!
