St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, so start pulling the green out of the closet and searching for those four-leaf clovers. As luck would have it, we will give you any scoop we can find on St. Patrick's Day parades around the Triad - so stay tuned.
Also, before and after the weekend, there are a few events to note. Everything is below. Read on and don't forget to log on Sunday to see which Smarty reader won that fabulous Big Bang Boom give-away! Enjoy your week!
