Nearly one in ten Americans claim to be Irish, and while Denverites may only be able to boast around 4% Irish ancestry, no one can deny Coloradans' Irish spirit. If anyone can say that the Irish spirit runs strong in Colorado, it's Jack Kelly. His name gives it away before a couple minutes of conversation can do the same — Kelly is green to the core.

Ever since he can remember, he has celebrated March 17 with family and friends of all ages.
