Celtic Tides, a gift shop in Lexington, VA, is getting into the spirit by promoting Irish-made merchandise and creating a festive atmosphere with decorations and traditional Irish music. Meanwhile, Klem's hardware store in Spencer, MA, is partnering with Timberyard Brewing Company for a promotion that drives traffic to both businesses.
