Have you recovered from last weekend’s St. Patrick’s Day events?

If you have and are ready to keep the party going, more power to you. (I think I’m starting to get too old for this kind of continued fun.)

Here are a few events taking place today and on Saturday.

St. Patrick’s Day Grub Crawl — 5-8 p.m. Thursday, March 17. Downtown O’Fallon. Eat, drink and be Irish! Join us for a wee bit o’ fun at O’Fallon’s first St. Patrick’s Day Grub Crawl. Come out in your greenest green and make your way around downtown to the participating pubs. They’ll each be offering a different Irish dish around $5 and a lucky drink special. Look for the BIG Leprechaun and take a chance at his pot of gold. facebook.com/DowntownDistrictOFallonIL
