Gift Shop Celebrates Irish Heritage for St. Patrick’s Day
Mohegan Lake, NY – The upcoming St. Patrick’s Day celebration on March 17 is special for Ashley E. Rooney for various reasons, but even more special because she now has a shop full of Irish gifts and crafts she can showcase.
Rooney is the owner of Celtic Aer Gift Shop, which she opened in October 2010 in Mohegan Lake. Her father Patrick, who was born in Fermanagh County in Ireland, has owned the property which houses the shop for the last 20 years.
“It felt right opening an Irish gift shop,” said Rooney, who had always dreamed of being a business owner.
