March 17- Save the date! (AND the 18th!)

I've heard it through the grapevine that the leprechauns are planning to create mischief at Cape Fear Botanical Garden (Fayetteville) on St Patricks Day, March 17!

There will be at least 10 leprechauns all over the garden! I have hand carved stamps to plant for just one day!

It's not officially an event - in fact I won't even be there, I've got plans out of town for the day...I've got mischief helpers - BUT I will list them on AQ once I get all the carves. (I still have to carve too...ha!)

The activity is actually for the muggles, where anyone can pick up a 'lucky passport' at check-in and find (and stamp) as they go, to earn a prize at the end. As such there will be no logbook, and each stamp will have its own green ink so any muggle can participate.

You're welcome to pick up a passport, but I'll also post clues on AQ when I get them listed with the carvers. (definitely check the clues to be sure you get them all/can see who carved what).

There is a general admission to get into the garden and it is only open 9am-5pm (last entry at 4:30). I think that's the first weekend on spring/summer hours! :)

Happy St Patricks Day!

Edit: I'll leave them out Sunday too. The leprechauns go back to Ireland after that weekend!

Yep same plans for that weekend. Hubby will be out of town with his SS class. So my sister is planning to come for a visit. She’s a boxer and we also have plans with the parents. Another day another time. Do you need a stamp? I might can get one carved and to you by that date.

I'll take another stamp! They have to be around 2 inches to fit in the muggles passport :)

So, no chance these will be out on Sunday?

The pink dragon and I will be shucking oysters and drinking beer at the Shamrock Shuck on Saturday. And I'm doing a 5K to raise money for a homeless project in the morning beforehand.

But I am free all day Sunday...

Alright alright. I was planning on pulling them since St Patricks is just one day, but I'll look at making the public part (for the muggles) the whole weekend, too (Saturday and Sunday). :)

That's definitely a busy day. I'm supposed to be doing like 3 other things that day too! I'll be in Raleigh both days actually... HA! But I should be able to arrange the leprechauns there for 2 days. They'll have to back to Ireland on that Monday though!

I agree with Pugs and Bee, bring your sister, I know your mama loves flowers and sister probably does too, what better way to spend the day with a sis.
Don't be greedy , share her with others instead of keeping her all to yourself. :)

The tulips should be in their full glory by then.
