There was plenty of green at VFW Calabash Post #7288 on Saturday, March 18th
as the post hosted its St. Patrick's Day dinner. The kitchen volunteers
who served up the corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots were all
adorned in green, the table settings were green, the ice cream was green
and the Irish coffee even had whipped cream laced with green on top.
Many of the customers were wearing their green as they enjoyed the
festive dinner. The shopping list for the March 18th
St. Patrick's dinner included 230 pounds of corned beef, 75 pounds of cabbage, 100 pounds of
potatoes, 50 pounds of jumbo carrots and those who came to enjoy most
likely inherited some of those pounds. It was a perfect time to be
Irish for a day while enjoying the camaraderie.
