Three Things to do This Weekend: September 17 - 19

An Irish Festival, high school sports and a fundraiser for pets are all on the agenda for events in the Westwood area this weekend.

Irish Festival in Canton

St. Patrick's Day may be six months away, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate now.  The 20th Annual Irish Festival will be held in Canton Friday, Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Treat yourself to a variety of good food and drink, and hear some great local music with an Irish flavor. For a full schedule of the three-day activities, go to www.irishculture.org or call 1-888-GO-IRISH for tickets.
