Congratulations to all of our 2009 Murphy Irish Day Raffle Winners!
...................................
One of the premiere annual events in the Mother Lode is Murphys Irish Day. Each year thousands of people from Northern California and
beyond gather in the historic gold rush town of Murphys to honor its
Celtic heritage and to celebrate as only the Irish can. Its
picturesque Main Street is filled with booths offering hand crafted
items, original art, photographs, tasty food, wine, and other beverages.
The day begins with a pancake breakfast. At 11 a.m. the swirl of
bagpipes heralds a parade of marching bands, classic cars, horses,
community organizations, novelty entries, and some of the finest
children in the land.
Throughout the day, there is continuous entertainment featuring
singers, dancers, musicians, and jugglers. There are pony rides for
the young ones and Renaissance actors encamped in the park. And some
lucky raffle ticket buyer will win an exciting trip for two to Ireland.
All this in addition to the charming shops, fine restaurants, and
tasting rooms that line historic Main Street and help create what is
nationally recognized as one of the finest small towns in America.
The Murphys Business Association creates Irish Day each year with the
knowledge that if you visit Murphys once you will return again and
again.
Sponsored by the Murphys Business Association, Murphys Irish Day is a fundraiser for many community projects and non-profit organizations. For more information, contact info@visitmurphys.com or browse through www.murphysirishdays.org.
