St. Patrick’s Day is almost here and I’ve been working with Portsmouth’s 7 Nations Celtic Club on a new painting to help celebrate their annual St. Patrick’s Day parade.
This painting is titled The Irish Rovers and it will be raffled to help finance this year’s festivities.
The picture includes highlights from the event including the bagpipers, the 7 Nation Celtic Wagon, and the best dressed dog (aka The Irish Rover). I even hid a tiny four leaf clover in the picture!
Raffle tickets are avialiable at Port City Irish Pub – 424 Chillicothe St in Portsmouth. Patrons can purchase tickets for $1.00 each and have the option to buy multiple tickets to increase their chances of winning the original painting.
Prints of this painting will also be available for sale. Pre-ordered prints measure 11″ x 17″ each and will be signed and numbered. Anyone interested in purchasing a copy can do so at Haskins House’s online store by clicking here. Customers have the option to pick their orders up at Pack Rat Antiques at 534 2nd St in Portsmouth or they may request to have their items shipped directly to them. Each print is $15.00 and will ship on March 14th.
This year’s parade will be on March 18th at 11am and will feature the Cyril Scott Bagpipers. The parade will be starting in Boneyfiddle and ending at Tracy Park.
So mark your calendars and wear some green!!! This event will be rain or shine. ☘️🇮🇪
