St. Patrick's Day


St. Patrick's Day is widely celebrated here. In Canada, Saint Patrick's Day is an official holiday in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, but unfortunately not in Alberta. There are even parades in some of the main centres.
Some of the library staff were going to the St. Patrick's Day Celebration & Irish Ceili in Lethbridge, and invited Craig and I to the party or ceilidh, (pronounced kaylee).
There was live music by the band Glencoulee and traditional Irish Dancers. Glencoulee band is made up of instructors from the College. They were very good and have released several CDs.
This link has more info about the band.
