“Never iron a four- leaf clover because you don’t want to press your luck.”- Irish Proverb

Food for thought from our Irish friends this week as we look forward to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. This weekend is full of events, including the Hackettstown St. Patrick’s Parade, pictured above in 2018. Warren County’s own County Commissioners will be marching so come out and say hello.

Other events happening in this week’s Wanderings include bluesman Guy Davis at Roy’s Hall, a history of Oxford Township presented by Warren County ARTs and as always, the wineries and breweries have live music every weekend.

St. Patrick’s Day events are happening in the week to come so be sure to look in Plan Ahead and keep an eye on the Explore Warren calendar.

Wear your green and Happy Wanderings!
