Stock up on gold coins. Party stores may sell foilwrapped chocolate coins this time of year, and they can be used to create a “pot of gold” display at the party.

Hire a piper. Bagpipes feature prominently in St. Patrick’s Day parades, and hosts can book a piper to play a few tunes in traditional garb during a party. Streaming services playlists of traditional Irish bagpipe playing would also work in a pinch.

Serve up some traditional dishes. Traditional Irish dishes include: Irish Stew; Irish Soda Bread; Colcannon and Champ (creamy mashed potatoes served with cabbage and onions); Shepherd’s Pie, Boxty (potato pancakes topped with sour cream and spring onions); Barmbrack (a traditional sweet bread made with raisins and fruit); Boiled Bacon and Cabbage; Cured or Smoked Salmon; Black and White Pudding, and Honey Glazed Carrots and Parsnips.

Create an Irish pub at home. Set up an area of the space and provide the accoutrements one would find in an Irish pub. In addition to having Guinness available, stock classic Irish whiskeys and ales. Keep Irish folk music playing in the background to impart a cozy feeling.

Invite a crowd. One of the best parts of a St. Patrick’s Day celebration is having friends and family together to celebrate, reminisce and enjoy each other’s company. A crowd means better sing-a-longs and more opportunities to toast to good luck for the future!

KENNEBUNK -

Hi there! My name is Oliver and I’m a playful, energetic, and (dare I say) handsome, young guy who is looking for his happy, new home. I came to Maine thanks to the kind people over at the Humane Society of the United States who rescued me from an alleged dog-fighting ring in South Carolina. I’m so grateful because I’m such a good boy who just wants a family to love and, despite where I came from, I’m friendly, carefree, and ready to start anew with you! I arrived here in Maine in early January and am ready for spring and want to explore this great state with my new family. If you need a good jogging partner, co-pilot and travel pal, or snuggly friend at night, I’m your guy!

Since first arriving here at AWS, I have learned quite a bit and am very proud of myself and how far I’ve come. Because I never really lived in a home environment before, I still struggle with my potty training and am
