• The Curse of the Leprechaun’s is not to be “sneezed at”, as told by the direct descendant of the last King of Leosche, Malichoi O’Moore. Tis true that the young Princesses, Michaela and Morgan, awoke in the early morn of March 19, to find their hair streaked with the “Green of the Isle”. Gentle Prince Kyle and Prince Colin are burdened with the “green toe”; all are pranks played on the children of the Royal Blood after the “lively” hunt for the “wee little people”. Feel free to join in the hunt, as the children of the Laird dress in green, and sneak thru the bushes distributing “golden corn” to entice the Little People to show their faces. Wander thru the dark of night to find a ring around the tree, where the “fairies” have danced in the Moon light. Or sit at the table while the “stash of gold coins” is divided from the annual Leprechaun hunt. (1/2 prior to dinner – dress warm) Reservations needed.

November:

• Time to check your dishes and get ready for the next two big holidays. What would be more appropriate than to visit the 400 piece Collection of Antique Amber, or the 300 piece collection of Milk Glass in the owners’ private quarters.
