St Urho

March 17th is St Patrick's Day, but today, March 16th is St Urho's Day.  Who is St Urho? 

It seems the legend of St Urho began around the 1950's in either Virginia, Minnesota or Chippewa Falls, Wisconisn of a great man who drove either frogs or grasshoppers out of Finland. Originally celebrated in May, the date was later changed to March 16th, and many communities across the US and Canada with Finnish origins now hold parades and festivals on this date.

Around Wisconsin you can celebrate St Urho's Day here:

• Oconto: Ruby Hatters St. Urho’s Day Social March 16th 11AM at The Brothers Three
• Brantwood - St. Urho/St Patrick Celebration March 17th 4:30PM at the Brantwood Community Center.
• Barnes - St. Urho's/St. Patrick's Day Parade and Events March 17th Barnes WI 

So a Happy St Urho's and St Patrick's Weekend everyone!

May brooks and trees and singing hills

Join in the chorus too,

And every gentle wind that blows

Send happiness to you.  ~Irish Blessing
