If you are Irish you will know that means ‘a hundred thousand welcomes’.
Everyone, from the Irish to those who wish they were Irish, is welcome to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, just very quietly and safely this year.
Michael Cox, owner of The Scottish and Irish Store, says there is always a steady stream of people popping in to learn more about their heritage.
Cox, whose father was Irish and mother was Scottish, has two retail locations brimming over with Celtic history, gift ideas, and foods.
This business has interesting entrepreneurial roots.
Cox first set up a stand at the Stittsville Flea Market many years ago.
