There was plenty of green at VFW Calabash Post #7288 on Saturday, March 17th 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 (mint chocolate chip) 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 17th St. Patrick's dinner included a significant number of pounds of corned beef, potatoes, 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 a great dinner and the camaraderie.

By all accounts a great way to wrap up the St. Patrick’s Day celebration with a great meal.
