— by Betty Jane Wilson, historical society president.
A bright green banner with a brilliant orange background declaring "Erin Go Bragh," "Top of the Morning," and "Happy St. Patrick's Day," sets the scene for honoring the Irish (and the "wanna-be-Irish") on their traditional holiday, March 17, in the Valley Falls Historical Society's Museum window.
Replicas of pots of gold, derbies, toy leprechauns, and scatterings of mock shamrocks, mingled with tiny Irish flags, serve as traditional representatives of "The Aulde Sod," including the Northern Ireland (orange), a part of the United Kindom, and The Republic of Ireland (green), the remainder of the Emerald Isle.
The Veterans' window honors the men and women of the military on their day with multi-colored flowers.
The society museum will be open at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 12.
