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. 🍀

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. ☘️

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.
✨ Curious if it could help your turkey neck, double chin, or wrinkles?

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…
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.
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.
