and What it really means to be Green!

Independent and scholarly, St. Patrick was more than the patron saint of shamrocks and green beer. What can we learn from this celebrated human being in relation to our current efforts at bioregionalism, self-reliance and even gardening? Join the Spring Planting Festival at the Old Town Center for the Arts, March 17th at 7pm for a soiree into the life and times of St. Patrick. Bill McDorman will recount the Thomas Cahill story of How the Irish Saved Civilization and use St. Patrick as an example to inspire us as we move forward into the 21st century.
Singer musician Connie Fisher will add to the evenings ‘stories’ with Celtic music from the ancient Gaelic language. Also contributing will be musician instrument maker William Eaton with music of the ancient ‘lyre’ and it’s place in the celebration of the ritual of planting and gathering.
