THIS BLAST FROM THE PAST HAS BECOME AN ANNUAL SCRIBBLES ST. PATRICK'S DAY FEATURE. IT'S OUR FRIENDS IN THE OTTAWA VALLEY ENJOYING ST. PATRICK'S TO THE MAX AND IT JUST NEVER GETS OLD.
Even if we actually aren't, we're all welcome to feel a wee bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day. One place where that really holds true is the town of Douglas, Ontario, located in the Ottawa Valley. The entire town goes all out for St. Patrick's celebrations and residents decorate their homes, much like we would do for Christmas or Halloween.I had the pleasure of partying on St. Patrick's Day at the Douglas Hotel many moons ago. It was a fond memory that always brings a big grin to my face...these folks really know how to have a good time, even if some of their sing along tunes are a bit queer. LOL!
A major part of the Douglas festivities, is their St. Patrick's Day parade. I have cousins who live in Douglas and nearby town Renfrew (where I was born.) They participate in the annual parade each year. Here's a short video of them enjoying 2017 celebration.
more fun with our green lovin' pals...
and here's some more of our favourite St. Patrick's Day Memories from 2020 featuring our Scribbles gang...
