The last vestiges of winter may have clung to Vancouver on Saturday, but that didn’t stop hundreds of Clark County families from welcoming spring at Shorty’s Garden and Home.
Shorty’s hosted its fifth annual St. Paddy’s for Kids event Saturday, featuring crafts and nature-themed activities from local vendors and environmental groups.
The free event falls the day after Shorty’s annual St. Paddy’s for Parks event, a fundraiser for the Parks Foundation of Clark County. The Parks Foundation supports area parks, trails and recreational programs.
“We do this as a thank you back to the community,” Shorty’s manager Sequoia Lott said.
