St. Patrick’s Day marks one of the busiest drinking days of the year – and of course, there is no shortage of green beer.
Sporting green from head to toe, many customers were starting the celebratory weekend early.
"One group that left a little while ago has been coming since ’78 and they’re a lot of fun to see. The customers come back over and over again," said Bobby McGuire, owner of Butch McGuire’s.The celebrations kicked off last Saturday when about 40 pounds of dye was dumped in the river, but many say there's no other time like March 17th to enjoy the fun.
"My tradition is pretty simple, have some green beer! Come here and enjoy friends and have fun," said Al Connor.
