The leprechaun has done a good job
of hiding his gold this year.
At press time Monday the first pot
was still hidden and clnes for the se-
cond pot were already being
released.
Lots of folks have been out looking
for the gold this past week, including
all three of os at the Progress office.
Every time I’ve gone out to try my
luck again, I’ve seen several other
folks out looking, too.
Hopefully, someone will outfox the
leprechaun this week and we can run
photos of winners in next week’s
paper.

It sounds as though there will be
many different activities to enjoy at
this year’s St. Patrick’s Celebration.

low as possible, members of the fire
department will do file body work,
painting and installation of fire
