Trivia:
March means St. Patrick's Day! This holiday is celebrated for the St. Patrick, the patron Saint of Ireland. Outside of Ireland, it's generally just a celebration for the island itself. To celebrate, people do what all Irish people do...look for leprechauns, four leaf clovers, pots of gold, and, I don't...eat potatoes.

Unfortunately, Ireland was not always such a wonderful place. There was a time when one particular vegetable killed almost a million people!
A. What crop was associated with the mass starvation and emigration of Ireland?
B. What years are most associated with this excursion from the island?
C. (Unrelated to the previous questions) What is the date of St. Patrick's Day?

Get your answers in tomorrow!

Mr. C
