Hello Claremont Chamber  

  Fun Facts about Cherries   

• The average cherry tree grows enough cherries to make about 70 pies.
• While several areas of North America grow cherries, over 70% of the annual cherry crop is grown in lower Michigan, in an area referred to as the Traverse Bay Region of the state.
• The sweet cherry (aka dark cherry) is usually used for snacking, while the tart cherry is used for cooking, in recipes.
• Cherries are very perishable and do not ripen after harvest. They only remain fresh in the refrigerator for a few days after being picked.
• The cherry bruises very easily and needs to be handled with care. To identify the best quality, look for cherries with the stems still attached. If the stem is wilted, the cherry is not fresh.
• The cherry has been shown to offer a number of health benefits, including the reduction of pain associated with arthritis, and the fighting of inflammation in the body. In addition, it can also reduce muscle pain and back pain.

  Our Claremont Favorites  

We want to thank the Claremont Chamber of Commerce as always.  They do a great job in helping Shamrock promote our business in many ways.

Thank you Andrew Behnke of the Doubletree Hotel Claremont for having us clean the carpet in the ballroom.  The Doubletree has great rooms and wonderful service.  The Chamber gets to see the wonderful front of the hotel at the meetings.  Take some time to see how great the rest of the hotel is. 

Diana Miller of Colors 91711 had us do some work for her.  Thanks for thinking of us!  Make sure you stop by her shop in downtown Claremont and see the interesting things she has.  Colors 91711 also offers classes in knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, and ravelry.

  A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland...    

     … and clears his throat. Addressing the crowd of drinker, he says, “I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I’ll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back.”
     The room is quiet, and no one takes up the Texan’s offer. One man even leaves.
Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. “Is your bet still good?” asks the Irishman.
     The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pints, drinking them all back to back.
The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement. The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, “If you don’t mind me askin’, where did you go for that half-hour you were gone?”

The Irishman replies, “Oh… I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.”
