Nearly 1,000 guests decked out in green gathered at Grand Junction Plaza on the beautiful spring afternoon of March 16 for Westfield Welcome’s fourth annual Shamrock Drop. Attendees enjoyed food, drinks, crafts, games, and prizes. Kids and adults alike hoped for the luck of the Irish as around 400 shamrocks bearing their names were dropped from a giant pot of gold into five smaller pots, and one name was drawn from each pot to win prizes valued at more than $500.
