With the purchase of a green and white Blarney Ball wristband for $10 -- which then can be reused for drink specials at future Blarney Ball happy hours -- you can enjoy extended happy hour prices until 9 pm including  $2.50 Miller Light bottles, $3.50 Leinenkugels (like a hefeweisen), and $4 20-ounce Guinness drafts; happy hour food specials last until 7 pm.  And for those looking for some Irish music after the extended happy hour, many of the Stouthearts Blarney Ball committee will be going to IOTA Club and Cafe (www.iotaclubandcafe.com) just down the street to see the Dunks.
