Another list, of last night’s auction winnings: shamrock trio pillowcase set, St. Patrick’s Day party pack (handcrafted St. Patrick’s Day wreath and party supplies, assortment of homemade breads (compliments of UCP special instructor Amelia Hardin) featuring fresh Irish Soda, sourdough, multigrain, and cinnamon roll, case of Killian’s Irish Red beer, 54 images of Ireland playing card set and basket), homemade breads gift set (Katie O’Reilly’s Irish Soda Bread mix, Irish blessing/Celtic cottage bread warmer by Seneca Ceramics, bread by Amelia and basket), Memphis Mania weekend getaway package, Dinner & Dancing Lessons package, carrot cake by Ellen’s Creative Cakes, scripture hand towel set (featuring Joshua 24), and flower pot of blooming shamrocks.

Thanks to the band, Bourbon and Shamrocks, the dancers, Jerry Hayes and others like Casey and Nancy, Holiday Inn veteran of 3 years, and police officers keeping the streets safe for sober drivers (sober than what, I ask).
