March Madness: Not Just Basketball, Also Bar Shuttles and Leprechaun Hunts

It’s Thursday, and you’ve got no idea what you’ll do for the weekend. You can't just watch birds bathe in all the gigantic rain puddles that are about to accumulate on your lawn, so Patch is coming to the rescue.

If you have a hankering for celebrating an early St. Patrick's Day, you can do that. And if you want to whet your appetite for March Madness, you can do that, too.
