Happy St. Patrick's Day: Today is the day that everybody is Irish, celebrating St. Paddy's Day in a variety of ways. Be sure to wear green to avoid being pinched and enjoy an adult beverage (if of age, of course) out with friends or family. If you're looking for something to do tonight, make sure you check out our Patch Picks, highlighting five places to go and celebrate the holiday. Medfield Patch will also share a recipe and a great parent column on celebrating the holiday with the little ones. If you missed it, be sure to check out Medfield Patch columnist Michael McInnis' when celebrating St. Paddy's Day. 

Looking Ahead to the Weekend: The popular lyrics from a Loverboy song goes something like this: "Everybody's working for the weekend." More times than not, that statement is true and it is never too early to start making end of the week plans. So if you're having some trouble making plans, Medfield Patch is here to help. Be sure to catch our feature, "Get Out!"

Check Back Today: Thursday means Medfield Patch publishes another week of real estate transactions in the "Sold!" feature. We will also be publishing our weekly photo gallery, "Viewfinder" this afternoon. This week, the Viewfinder profiles this past weekend's Winter Carnival at the Memorial School. Don't miss Medfield Patch's preview of Friday night's Medfield High School Senior Fashion Show!
