We've crowned our winner.
Readers since last Wednesday have uploaded nearly 50 photos to our St. Patrick's Day/Irish pride contest. Babies, kids, adults and pets alike comprise the gallery, a tribute to the popular Irish holiday. Unfortunately, we could only choose one photo as the winner of our weekly photo contest. We had to go with the delightful photo of Milford Public Schools bus driver, "Moe," uploaded by MHutch. MHutch, we'll be emailing you to make arrangements to get you your $25 gift card. Thank you to all who entered!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! MetroWest readers have some suggestions where to celebrate locally.
After a week of voting and debating, readers across MetroWest-area Patch sites selected their preferred local St. Patrick's Day destinations. Some were chosen for the corned beef and cabbage; others, the atmosphere. Take a look at the businesses that topped our polls. Since everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day, there's a chance one of them is in your plans. (And, see our attached St. "Patch"rick's Day video to get in the spirit of the holiday!) Next week, come back to vote on the best salon.
