Happy St. Patrick's Day from BRANDYKEGS!

Irish Blessing

May the roads
rise to meet you
May the winds be
always at your back
May the sun shine warm
upon your face
The rains fall soft
upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
in the hollow of
His hand.

Weight Pull Photo of St. Bernard

The weight pulls are usually held in the evening as the temperature is cooler. A female Saint Bernard usually pulls more weight in regards to her own body weight ratio to the weight of the bricks. At this particular weight pull, the male Saint Bernards were pulling over a ton.
