  TRIVIA CONTEST

February's trivia question was:

There is a traditional Scottish token of love & devotion, usually in the form of a silver brooch, that looks like two entwined hearts with a crown on top. What is this symbol called?

The correct answer is....The Luckenbooth! The winner is Terri Schurr. There is a $20 gift certificate waiting at the store for Terri!

March's trivia question is:

St. Patrick, Ireland's patron saint, was not Irish by birth! Where was he  born?

  If you think you know the answer to the question, send an email to kimberly@thingsceltic.com with "March Trivia" in the subject line.  The prize this month is a $20 Things Celtic gift certificate.

The winner will be drawn from all the entries with the correct answer. Good luck!
