You don't have to play hooky to celebrate St. Patrick's Day early this year. Chalk it up to the luck of the Irish — the holiday falls on a Saturday.

That means more people will be able to get out (not to mention it's supposed to be 70 degrees). Plus, Puckers Sports Pub & Grille is opening early and serving kegs and eggs and green beer. (We've got more information about local St. Paddy's Day events from the Barrel Room and Jojutlas Mexican Grill in our poll, "Readers' Choice: Vote for Best St. Paddy's Day Hangout.")

Many people will take photos to document the fun moments with friends and family. When you return, take a couple minutes to post your photos directly to this article.
