Bring your Mother to a special “Mother’s Day Session” this Sunday, May

11th, from 5-8 pm in the Tap Room at LOCAL 121 for some traditional

Irish jigs and reels, maternally-inspired poetry (to make her weep) and

even a song or two (…wish Bing were still with us, but maybe we can

get Marylee or Bridget to do a Connie Francis impersonation…).

 

Your Mother deserves some fun!

 

And if you REALLY love her, treat her to an ecologically, culturally,

and agriculturally sustainable LOCAL “Mother’s Day Dinner” -

she will be so proud of you!
