What’s Happening in Youngstown?
Mahoning Valley St Patrick’s Day Parade
Every March, thousands of people line Market Street in Boardman for one of the Mahoning Valley’s most beloved traditions — the Mahoning Valley St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
This year’s parade will take place Sunday, March 15 at 1:00 PM, starting at Market Street and McClurg Road and traveling north to Southwoods Avenue. Expect a lively afternoon filled with marching bands, Irish dancers, decorated floats, bagpipers, and community groups celebrating Irish heritage and local pride.
The parade draws tens of thousands of spectators each year and has become a true community event for families across the Youngstown area. Many people arrive early to claim a spot along Market Street, often dressed in green and ready to celebrate.
After the parade, the celebration usually continues at nearby restaurants and pubs throughout Boardman, making it a full day of St. Patrick’s Day fun in the Mahoning Valley. 🍀

Boardman Brunch Parade Team
💜 Boardman Brunch is a group of local women who meet once a month for Brunch at a different locally owned restaurant. We do this for the purpose of meeting and getting to know the women who live and work nearby.
Over 900 members. Open to all women in the Mahoning Valley.

1-800-Plumber + Air ☘️
Around Youngstown, St. Patrick’s Day usually means two things… a little green outside and a lot of water moving through the ground.
With snow melting and spring rain on the way, this is the time of year when sump pumps quietly earn their keep. When they’re working, you don’t think about them. When they’re not… well, that’s when basements start filling up fast.
If you haven’t checked yours in a while, it might be worth a quick look before the heavy rains roll in.
The team at 1-800-Plumber + Air helps homeowners make sure their sump pumps are ready to go before spring really gets going.
A working sump pump might not be lucky…
…but it can definitely keep you from feeling very unlucky. ☘️
ALL SPRUCED UP CLEANING CO. ☘️
There’s something about this time of year in Youngstown.
The sun starts showing up again. Windows crack open. And suddenly everyone gets the urge to freshen things up.
But here’s the question…
Do you want to spend your weekend scrubbing the house?
Or actually enjoying the weekend?
That’s where All Spruced Up Cleaning Co. comes in. Their team helps local families reset their homes so everything feels lighter, calmer, and ready for the season ahead.
Spring is right around the corner, and their schedule fills quickly this time of year.
A clean start might be the best kind of luck you can have.

Health Corner:
Got Turkey Neck?
The “Korean Facelift” Everyone Is Talking About
Loose jawline? Turkey neck? Skin that just isn’t as firm as it used to be?
The “Korean Facelift” is a non-surgical treatment inspired by advanced techniques popular in South Korea — a country known for being years ahead in skin technology.
It starts with HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), which targets the deep support layer of the face (the SMAS layer) — the same layer surgeons tighten during a facelift. This stimulates collagen where sagging actually begins, helping lift and firm the jawline, neck, and lower face over time.
To finish, providers often add a surface treatment like microneedling or thermal resurfacing to smooth texture, soften wrinkles, and improve skin quality.
There are two ways to look younger:
• Lift the structure below
• Refine the skin above
The result: firmer, tighter skin without surgery or downtime.

Moore Family Insurance ☘️
Everyone hopes they never have to use their insurance.
But when something does happen, you want someone who actually answers the phone.
That’s the idea behind Moore Family Insurance. Preston and Parker Moore focus on treating customers the way they’d treat their own family — with real conversations, honest advice, and help finding the right coverage.
Car insurance, home insurance, or reviewing what you already have… sometimes a quick policy check can uncover better options or save money.
A little preparation today can bring a lot of peace of mind tomorrow.
And that might be the smartest kind of luck there is.

Youngstown Pressure Washing
If a leprechaun were walking around Youngstown this week, you know what he’d be looking for…
Not just gold.
Shiny sidewalks. Clean patios. Driveways that actually look like their original color again.
Winter has a way of leaving its mark around here. Salt, grime, and months of weather can make even the nicest homes and businesses look a little tired.

That’s where Youngstown Pressure Washing comes in.
A good pressure wash can bring your property back to life almost instantly. Walkways brighten up, siding looks fresh again, and suddenly the whole place feels ready for spring.
No magic required.
Just a good crew, the right equipment, and a little Youngstown pride. ☘️
If your place could use a fresh start after winter, this might be your lucky week to schedule a wash.

🌷 Spring House Hunting

Whether you’re thinking about listing your home, buying something new, or just wondering what your place might be worth right now, having someone local in your corner makes all the difference.
Sometimes a little information is all the luck you need.

☘️ Youngstown Head Spa
If a leprechaun in Youngstown had one day off…
He probably wouldn’t spend it guarding gold.
He’d be looking for a place to relax, clear his head, and come out feeling brand new.
That’s exactly what people are discovering at Youngstown Head Spa.
This experience goes way beyond a typical salon visit. It’s a deep scalp cleanse, circulation-boosting massage, and treatment designed to support healthy hair, scalp care, and real relaxation all in one.
And honestly… after a long winter around here, a reset like that can feel pretty lucky.
If your hair, scalp, or stress level could use a little fresh start this season, Youngstown Head Spa might be the pot of gold you’ve been looking for.
