I'm bumping this up for the local Xmarkers.

There's still plenty of St. Patrick's day events. Though not free anymore --

The Battlefield Band plays at the Wolftrap on Thursday.
I understand that Sir William is attending. Anybody else?

[I am unable to because I'm attending a weekend long Square Dance Festival in Alexandria called WASCA 50th Birthday Anniv. Dance.]
