☘️St. Patrick's Day Planning? ☘️ Join us at Friels for some Irish History Home to Mick McAtamney's 100-year-old, hand-carved, walking stick. Mick was a Local poet/storyteller who lived in America for 47 years and carved the stick in San Quentin Jail, California. His wanderings took him to 31 states and he had a fondness for the forests and lakes of Minnesota and Michigan. This stick is a story of Micks travels. See the snakes carved representing St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland and holding the stick itself, is said to bring luck in your travels. Hear all about it this St. Patrick's day at Friels. #stpaddys #stpaddysday #stpaddycelebrations #swatragh #friels #livemusic #tastetheisland #tourismireland #homeplace #hospitalityulster #irishpub #5generationsstrong
