Shepherd’s pie was added to the menu as a second option this year for those who aren’t fans of corned beef and cabbage, said Laura Heinrich, community relations director, adding the Irish cream pie is also new.
“I’m thrilled to invite everyone back for our annual St. Patrick’s Day Celebration,” she added. “The Biggins family loves to open its doors to Sun City Center and surrounding South Shore communities. We are looking forward to seeing everyone with full plates and big smiles as they enjoy some traditional Irish tunes.
“Everyone is welcome to attend this friendly, fun and free event,” she said.
Last year, between residents, family members and members of the public, 250 meals were served.
