St. Pat's Story

Greetings Pub Crawlers-

Who am I?  I am St. Patrick, master of the four leaf clover, guardian of the pot of gold and King of Rich & Bennett's St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl.  I am a simple leprechaun named after the religious legend Saint Patrick.  Twelve years ago Rich & Bennett approached me about helping them get a fledgling pub crawl off the ground.  I remember like it was yesterday.  We were at Connolly's and Rich asked me if I would be willing to sit down with he and Bennett and listen to their proposal.  They wanted we to be the face of their March 17th pub crawl.  At the time I thought, well, I am a Saint, I love to party and March 17th is one of my favorite days.  I thought for a few minutes....Okay, I'll do it!

There was only one major hurdle to clear.  I was a wanted leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama.  Yes, its true, I had moved to Charlotte to escape the law that had been breathing down my wee little neck for the last few months.  Check out this video of the residence of Alabama and their quest to find me. 

In order to host the pub crawl I was going to have to sneak out of Mobile with my pot of gold and safely make it back to Charlotte in order to help Rich & Bennett.  Mission accomplished!!!  I am lucky enough to have cleared my name (actually bought off the cops with my pot of gold!!), settled in Charlotte full time, an served as host of the Worlds Largest Pub Crawl for the last 11 years.  The city is amazing and Rich & Bennett have really been able to enhance the pub crawl each and every year.  I work hard for one day and spend the rest of the year having a blast throughout the streets of Charlotte.

As I said, I like to party and hope you will be able to join me this year on Saturday, March 17th, 2012!!!

Sincerely,

St. Patrick
