GateHouse News Service has a callout ad you can use to request readers' photos from St. Patrick's Day celebrations.
We suggest running this callout between March 9 and 18 -- start this week if you're a weekly paper -- and running photos in print by March 20 and online as they come in.
Ways to maximize this callout's potential:
-- Ask readers to send photos from trips they've taken to Ireland. For those readers who'd like to go someday, be sure to use GHNS's St. Patrick's Day page, with tips on traveling to the emerald isle.
-- Irish recipes are another thing readers seek around St. Patrick's Day. Start a callout for those, too -- think soda bread, Irish coffee, and anything with cabbage or beer -- to run while you gather your St. Pat's day photos.
-- Run the callout with any calendar listings you have for St. Patrick's Day events -- when is your local parade? What churches are having celebrations? Are there public dance or music performances for the holiday?
