March 17th marks the day when many people will be celebrating the most commonly-recognised patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. If you can’t trace a drop of Irish in your family line it doesn’t matter because the spirit of the day floods across the world giving everyone a taste of good luck. Minnesotans will dress in hues of green, spend the day discussing the best ways to find the end of a rainbow and what they would do if they found a lucky leprechaun, but how does one catch the breaded little man?
We went to a group of kid experts to find the answers to what types of treasures lay at the end of the rainbow, their best tricks to catching a lucky leprechaun and if they were granted 3 wishes what would they request?
