Yuletide Day 2
🎄✨ Who is Tiny Tadhg? ✨🎄
This morning, we discovered a curious visitor peeking out from behind the whiskey bottles! He calls himself Tiny Tadhg (pronounced like the first syllable in tig-er—though don’t let that bold reference fool you, he’s quite shy). We’ve learned that his name means “poet” in Irish, which feels perfectly suited to Saints & Scholars’ theme! 🍀
Beyond his name, he left us just a riddle to decipher, hinting at where he’s from and why he’s here. Can you help us figure out where he might be from? Be the first to guess, and you’ll win a special gift from Tiny Tadhg! ✨ Entries must be submitted by midnight Wednesday Dec. 4th!
"Where Twelve Bens rise, both grand and steep,
And boglands stretch in shadows deep.
Where ponies graze by streams that gleam,
And mountains guard each quiet dream.
By Kylemore’s halls and Killary’s shore,
Through Fairy Glens of ancient lore,
I’ve traveled far to share my cheer—
Can you name the place that sent me here?"
Tiny Tadhg promises to stay through the Yuletide season, watching over the pub from a different spot each day. Stay tuned—we can’t wait to uncover more about this mysterious poet together! ✨
Here’s how you can join in the fun:
Spot Tiny Tadhg during your visit and snap a photo of him in his hiding spot.
Each week, share your photo or selfie with Tiny Tadhg on social media, tag us, or use a photo of him to check in at S&S on Facebook! Be sure to post your photo during the same week as your visit!
If you miss that chance, you can add your photo to the comments of our Monday Riddle Post next week!
Winners will receive a special prize and be announced on Tuesday after Tadhg reviews all entries.🎁
We’re looking forward to following his adventures at S&S, and we hope you will follow along too!
Before tucking himself away again, Tadhg left us one more playful rhyme:
“For now, I peek, but soon I’ll play,
With tricks and rhymes to light the way.
Seek me out and join the fun,
The Yuletide magic has begun!"
The Contest Has Ended!
Thank you to everyone who joined in and helped us figure out where Tiny Tadhg is from. We were thrilled to have so much participation!🍀
As it turns out, Tiny Tadhg hails from the Fairy Glens of Connemara! 🌟 This breathtaking region in Ireland is famous for its rugged landscapes, the majestic Twelve Bens mountains, serene boglands, and, of course, its rich folklore. It’s a land where legends come to life, and it’s no surprise that a poet like Tiny Tadhg would come from such a magical place.
He’s traveled far to share the spirit of the season with us, and we can’t wait to see what more he has in store as we get to know him better throughout the Yuletide season!
Congratulations to the Winners! Anyone who guessed correctly won a special gift from Tiny Tadhg, so be sure to keep an eye on your inbox for it! 🎉
Stay tuned as Tiny Tadhg continues his adventure here at Saints & Scholars Irish Pub—he’s promised more riddles, rhymes, and perhaps a bit of mischief to keep us all on our toes. Sláinte! 🍻
