Ladies Bring St. Patrick’s Day Cheer to Vegreville

Linda Couture, Gayla Robert, and Tony Starko got together to create a St. Patrick’s Day display by a mailbox post in Vegreville.

These ladies, who are neighbours, said they started putting out a Christmas display in November and a Valentine’s Day display in February. They put out this St. Patrick’s Day display on March 1. They started creating these displays together because they thought it would be a fun project to pass the time and it would bring cheer to their neighbourhood at this sad time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They feel they definitely achieved this goal.

Linda said one lady who was a senior was walking by and she told her seeing the St. Patrick’s Day display was the highlight of her day. “I used to create decorations for weddings and graduations,” Linda said.

Gayla added they tried to make one side of the display fun for the kids to see and one side interesting for the adults to see, and part of the display is made for the seniors to enjoy so there was something in the display for all age groups to enjoy.

Linda also created a St. Patrick’s Day’s display by herself which she placed on Tony’s yard.
