Happy St. Patty's Day

Whether you have a rich Irish heritage, or perhaps you wish you did, today is your day.

St. Patrick's Day is one of the busiest days of the year for local bars and patios, and the co-owner of Paddy Flaherty's says it's without question their busiest.

Even with the holiday falling on a weekday, Angela Smolders says the Irish pub is usually packed throughout the day and well into the evening.

Smolders says there will be green beer and live music.

She says typically they go through 12 kegs of Guinness on St.Patty's day.
