Lucky the Leprechaun
Catching Up with Lucky the Leprechaun
Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I am Lucky the Leprechaun Woman! A Fairy tale for the 21st century!
Once upon a time, there was a forest filled with lovely delights and treasures. These treasures included shiny flower jewelry, hand crafted pottery made by little elves, libraries for all ages of forest creatures and fine gifts for all! Lucky the Leprechaun, who was in fact a woman (bet you didn't know that Leprechauns could be female!) loved her forest. She shared it with all her friends and neighbors. There was no finer forest in all of the land! Birds would fly for miles just to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere and to find gorgeous flowers in which to decorate their nests. Every creature, big and small, felt welcome in her land. Lucky was very proud of the forest she created.
Then one day, an Ogre visited Lucky's forest. He was big and mean and owned forests all over the land. He preyed on little forest Leprechauns everywhere! The big Ogre stole all of Lucky's fantastic gifts, Gobbled up all her wonderful ideas, snatched up all of Lucky's treasures, and spit them back out into HIS run-of-the-mill forest with boring ol' trees and un-imaginative displays of grass and leaves. But it was new to many birds and forest creatures, so they visited his forest for a while. They didn't realize that the Ogre charged more for his flowers and didn't offer his guests treats to make them welcome. Eventually, all the little birds and bees and forest animals visited the Ogre's forest for convenience's sake, leaving Lucky feeling not so Lucky.
Now, we all know that there is really no such thing as Luck. There is hard work, determination, and more hard work. Lucky is more than Lucky, she is a super Leprechaun that will not leave her forest for Ogres to steal. Ogres search out others' pots of gold and try to hide behind them, pretending their land is fairer than all. Our girl Lucky knows the truth, that hard work and love for your neighbors is what really makes a forest the fairest in the land. Lucky will continue to share the riches of the forest with her neighbors. She will create a brighter rainbow that will bring her friends and neighbors back into her fields.
Lucky is working night and day to make her forest different from the Ogre's. Imitation is the best form of flattery, but Lucky doesn't like to be flattered, she likes to be different! So here is Lucky's Newest Rainbow, it's different than you will see anywhere else because it comes from her heart. On March 15th, Lucky welcomes you into her new land. A special place that will remind you of what your neighborhood forest should be. Follow the rainbow to the Old Company Store and collect your pot of gold! A treat for you and for all you do to keep business local and our community strong. Please continue to shop all the stores downtown and all the little restaurants that you enjoy. Without the little forests and trees, with out the love and effort that goes into every "small business", the community will become sad and full of big box stores with no heart. There is a moral to our story, hard work and dedication is worth all the effort, but without love and loyalty, there is no community. Thank you for being with us for 16 years strong. Bring this page in to the Old Company Store and get 50% off any piece of Cranberry Carded Jewelry or save it for the Grand Opening of our Vintage Cafe on March 15th for a special treat.
