IUP has been getting bashed lately from other schools, especially Penn State University about having our very own IUPatty's Day celebrations. PSU is famously known for their yearly tradition of "State Patty's Day," an early celebration of St. Patrick's Day. This is why they are coming down on us so hard. IUPatty's took place two weekends ago on the weekend of March 2, 2012. The streets of Indiana were covered in green and intoxicated students. Even the bars in Indiana participated, unlike Penn States. The three main bars that supported the holiday with great specials were, Wolfendales, The Coney and Steel City Samiches.
Even though the highly anticipated IUPatty's weekend has come and gone, the real Irish holiday is this Saturday, March 17. If you are planning on celebrating St. Patrick's Day in Indiana, the local bars have some great deals for you! Wolfie's is having a 3-day celebration featuring Labatt Light Lime, starting Thursday March 15 through Saturday, March 17. Also, The Coney will be celebrating on Saturday, March 17 at 10 am, by having a Leprechaun look-alike contest and parade. Finally, Boomerangs will be celebrating on Saturday, March 17th by featuring Irish music, shamrock tattoos and green beer all day!
Happy St. Patrick's Day weekend and celebrate safe IUP!
