​Good Afternoon!
 
My name is Sarah and I work with the show American Pickers on the History Channel. I just left you a voicemail and as promised, here is some more information! Our show is excited to be coming back to Minnesota this coming October and we're looking for leads throughout the state, specifically interesting characters with interesting items and lots of them! We would love to spread the word in your area! The way we find people and collections for our show is through spreading the word far and wide so that people know we’re coming to town.
 
In case you’re able to share this for us, I'm attaching a brief synopsis of the show, as well as a flyer and some photos that you are welcome to share. Please keep in mind, we are looking for different, unusual, and unique items too – something we’ve never seen before and with an interesting story!
 
Feel free to share this with your community, with individuals, social media, etc. Please make sure people who are interested reach out to us on our phone number 1-855-OLD-RUST (653-7878), or our email, which is AmericanPickers@cineflix.com.
 
We also have Facebook: @GOTAPICK and you can share our Facebook post by clicking here.                                                                                                
Also, please note that Mike and Frank only pick private collections so NO stores, malls, flea markets, museums, auctions, businesses or anything open to the public. 
 
Please let me know if you’re able to share for us! If you are able to announce this throughout the month of September that would be amazing! My contact info is below, don't hesitate to call me with any questions. Thank you so much for your time and help!
 
Best,

St. Patrick’s Day takes place each year on March 17, the traditional religious feast day of Saint Patrick.

St. Patrick’s Day Celebration

• Corned beef and cabbage is a traditional St. Patrick’s Day dish. 
• Irish soda bread gets its name and distinctive character from the use of baking soda rather than yeast as a leavening agent.
• Lime green chrysanthemums are often requested for St. Patrick’s Day parades and celebrations.
  
  

St. Patrick’s Day Parade

• The first St. Patrick’s Day parade took place in the United States on March 17, 1762, when Irish soldiers serving in the English military marched through New York City.
• More than 100 St. Patrick’s Day parades are held across the United States. New York City and Boston are home to the largest celebrations.
• At the annual New York City St. Patrick’s Day parade, participants march up 5th Avenue from 44th Street to 86th Street. Each year, between 150,000 and 250,000 marchers take part in the parade, which does not allow automobiles or floats.
  
  

Places to Spend St. Patrick’s Day

​It's that time of year again; the Holiday Season is upon us and one of the many happenings in the Remer area is the Chamber's annual Christmas Crawl.  This has really turned out to be a fun event and is greatly anticipated by the community.  The Chamber wishes to thanks all the merchants and businesses that participate in the crawl by opening their doors "after hours" and offer many store specials, gift drawings, food and drink.  Many thanks also to Cheire Frick who spearheads the event with downtown businesses and gets these awesome posters around town.

​Hope to see you all on the 15th!

​Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a public holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. It originated as a harvest festival. Thanksgiving has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, after Congress requested a proclamation by George Washington. It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1863, when, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens," to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November. Together with Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader fall/winter holiday season in the U.S.  (Wikipedia)
