St. Patrick’s visitors coming into Dublin might wonder about the shamrocks in front of homes and businesses around town.

The Dublin Rodeo Heritage Museum is hosting a shamrock decorating contest to raise money for its efforts of preserving Dublin’s rich rodeo history.

A total of 40 shamrocks have been placed around town as those that donated show off their creativity and skills. Judging will take place soon and be announced in the Citizen.
