It was a sad, sad St. Patrick's day when Dahlonega's Shenanigan's Irish Pub, a favorite of locals + tourists alike, caught fire in the early morning hours just a few days before the holiday. True to form, the citizens of Dahlonega rose to the occasion and within hours organized a fundraising event for the employees displaced by the fire. The restaurant has already begun clean-up and construction, hoping to re-open Summer 2014. To donate to Shenanigans employee fund, click here.
