An ongoing monthly Geocaching Dinner Event in Lincoln, open to everyone, especially good for geocachers new to the game. It's a great way to get tips and tricks, or help.
Local and out-of-town geocachers are welcome and encouraged to attend. No 4-legged cachers here, sorry. Unless it's a service dog, then that's okay.
No purchase is required to attend this event.
Come join us for a nice suppertime get-together. This will be a great opportunity to plan a weekend geocaching trip with other cachers, ask for help on those caches or puzzle caches that are driving you crazy, trade/share Travel Bugs and/or other trackable items, or just have a nice dinner and trade geocaching stories or talk about whatever.
Location: The Eatery, 2548 S. 48th Street, Lincoln
Date: Wednesday, March 18th
Start Time: 5:45 pm / End Time: 7:45 pm (end time varies, but restaurant closes at 8:00)
We will have the party room, so if you’ll please log a Will Attend I can tell them an approximate number to expect they will be sure to have appropriate staff on hand to take care of us!

St. Patrick’s Day is observed annually on March 17, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. In 2026, the holiday falls on Tuesday, March 17.
Originally a religious feast day commemorating the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, it has evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture, heritage, and "all things green".
Key Traditions & Symbols
- The Shamrock: Legend says St. Patrick used the three-leafed clover to explain the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
- Wearing Green: This tradition is largely Irish-American in origin. It was believed that wearing green made you invisible to leprechauns, who would pinch anyone they could see.
- Corned Beef and Cabbage: While often considered "traditional," this dish is an Irish-American staple. In Ireland, the traditional meal was more likely to be bacon and cabbage.
- Paddy vs. Patty: The correct abbreviation is St. Paddy’s Day (from Pádraig). "St. Patty" is generally considered incorrect as "Patty" is a feminine nickname.
Historical Origins
- The Real St. Patrick: He was not actually Irish. Born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century, he was kidnapped at age 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He later escaped, became a priest, and returned to Ireland as a missionary.
- First Parade: Despite being an Irish holiday, the first recorded St. Patrick’s Day parade took place in St. Augustine, Florida (a Spanish colony at the time) in 1601.
