Summary

The Beaver Beacon’s March 2001 issue documents a week of Old Rectory Irish- themed evenings beginning Sunday, March 11, and closing near St. Patrick’s Day itself, alongside a community-calendar entry for a “St. Patrick’s Day Party Island-Wide” on March 17. No Clan Na Gael Games advertisement or outcome report — a fixture of the 1995-1999 held issues — was found in this year’s held issue.

Program

At the Old Rectory: corned beef sandwiches all week, Irish movies in the pub (Wednesday), an Irish dinner buffet (Thursday), the Third Coast String Band (Friday), and the Mike Moore Band (Saturday). The community calendar separately lists a March 17 “St. Patrick’s Day Party Island-Wide.”

Evidence limits

This is restaurant-promotion and calendar-listing evidence rather than an organizer’s program or outcome report; no games, winners, or attendance are recorded. No venue article exists for the Old Rectory, so took_place_at is left empty and spatial_status is approximate. Notably, unlike every held year from 1995 through 2000, no Clan Na Gael Games advertisement or report was found in this year’s held issue — it is not established here whether the Games did not run in 2001, ran without being advertised in this issue, or were reported in an issue not checked.

Open questions

  • Did the Clan Na Gael Games run in 2001? Their absence from this year’s held issue, after five consecutive documented years, is itself notable.
  • What did “St. Patrick’s Day Party Island-Wide” on the community calendar refer to specifically?
