St. Pattyís Day a wee early!

How do you celebrate St. Patrickís Day when you run a barbershop and the Irish holiday falls on Monday, the day you are closed? You celebrate on Saturday, of course. Visitors found six hours of fun, plenty of Irish songs and stories and the weariní of the green at Russellís Barbershop in Wyoming on Saturday. Linwood resident Joe Hermann, above left, was on hand with his guitar and vocals to team with Alice Nelson, an Irish lass for the day from Lindstrom who pitched in her vocal talents. Barbers Russ Mansmith and Shane Brown were also in the spirit with green hair, green clothing and plenty of Irish spirit. Hermann, who is half Irish, has been singing and playing Irish tunes for more than 30 years. (Photo By Cliff Buchan)
