Last year, St. Patrick’s Day spending reached an estimated total of $4.6 billion*. If those St. Paddy’s dollars were spent at locally owned businesses that would make for a nice treat to local communities across the country. This year, let’s celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by supporting the little guy. Whether you plan on visiting your locally owned Irish pub or staying in and cooking a traditional Irish dinner, celebrate locally and give your community the pot of god that it deserves!
