IRISH HERITAGE FESTIVAL AND PARADE
Featured throughout the last day of Pilgrimage is the Irish Heritage Festival sponsored by the Hibernia Marching Society. You might just want to "wear the green" and join a 5k run or 1 mile walk in the morning, but do not miss the St. Patrick's Day Parade that will roll through downtown Biloxi at 2:00P.M. The 2002 Grand Marshall and Colleen in traditional Irish regalia will lead the parade and they will be joined by marching bands, leprechauns, bagpipers, floats and other ethnic groups. Erin Go Bragh!!!
3.	SHADOWLAWN BED AND BREAKFAST, 112A Shearwater Drive. This 1907 home is listed on the National Historic Register of Homes and was a private residence until 1998 when the middle floor was renovated for a bed and breakfast. It is owned and managed by Bill and Nancy Wilson. Nancy is the granddaughter of John and Jennie Dickey who purchased the house in 1922 from the original builder. The house is built in Prairie Renaissance style and was the first in Ocean Springs to use concrete and stucco for the outside covering. The home sits among ancient live oaks draped with Spanish moss on five acres of landscaped grounds. The 12' x 60' front -screened porch has a wonderful view of the Mississippi Sound. The huge old oaks make a beautiful frame for the sunsets across the water. Hostesses: Ocean Springs Garden Club
4.	THE GARDEN OF PAUL AND SANDY WATSON, 1902 Kensington Avenue. The Garden of Paul and Sandy Watson is a marriage between the Watsons and Mother Nature. The visitors can wander along lovely brick pathways to visit three levels of the garden, each with its own charm. The first level has been planned with low maintenance in mind using grasses and ground cover; the second centers on a peaceful pond; and the third has been left to accommodate Mother nature. All levels are connected by a unique arbor. While emphasis has been placed on plants which will attract butterflies and birds, the garden has over 500 horticulture specimens, many native to our Southern climate. Hostesses: Gulf Hills Garden Club
