We're hosting our 25th annual Wren Party on St. Stephen's Day … 7 p.m. on Dec. 26 at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 235 Limekiln Pike in Glenside. But not everyone can make it to the party – especially if they live ZIP codes, states or even countries far away -- so we present the next best thing. It's our annual virtual Wren Hat competition.

That's right. Craft your own wren hat, and you might win a $50 Amazon gift card. There are three categories – kids, adults and furthest entrant.

If you want to enter – of course you do – send a picture of yourself wearing your hat to ccephila@gmail.com by 12 noon on Dec. 26. 

We started the contest during the heart of the pandemic, but because we want to spread the spirit of Ireland's legendary wren boys far and wide, we've made it a tradition. So please, by all means, join in the fun!

And if you want to see how clever some people can be – consider it inspiration – check out this video.
