Our Colorful Spring

To celebrate the arrival of spring, Wolverine Crossing residents participated in the annual Festival of Colors, or the Holi Festival, held each year at the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork. Saturday and Sunday were spent enjoying yummy Indian food, touring the temple, listening to some great music and most importantly throwing colored powder all over friends to celebrate spring. For more information on the festival, click here.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Four leaf clovers, corned beef and cabbage, the color green and all kinds of great Irish folklore are associated with St. Patrick’s Day. As you celebrate the "wearin o' the green" this year, check out our St. Patrick’s Day facts and trivia to help you become a little more knowledgeable about this Irish holiday!

  • It is said the St. Patrick died on March 17th, hence we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on this date.

  • St. Patrick’s real name was Maewyn Succat and he was born in Scotland (not Ireland!) around 385 A.D.

  • Leprechauns are the official shoe makers of the fairy kingdom.

  • Shamrock is the national flower of Ireland.
  • The St. Patrick’s Day custom came to America in 1737. It was first celebrated publicly in the U.S. in Boston.
  • On St. Patrick’s Day, in Chicago the rivers are dyed green.

  • Green is affiliated with St. Patrick’s Day because it is the color of Spring.

  • On St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland people traditionally wear small bunch of shamrocks on their jackets or caps.

  • If you are caught without wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day, you’ll be pinched!

  • Traditional St. Patrick’s Day food includes, Irish soda bread, corned beef and cabbage, Irish stew, and of course, Guinness.

May the luck of the Irish be with you today! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
