Father’s Day at the Square

Father's Day at the Square

Jun 15, 2021

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and all of us here at Donegal Square are looking forward to helping those find the best purchases for his or her pater familias! 

My Irish heritage was first disclosed to me at Donegal Square and Bethlehem’s annual Celtic Classic. My father introduced me to our Irish heritage here, and I cannot help but think of him everyday here in the store, and most especially on Father’s Day!  

More Creative than a Six-Pack

If you pop in this week, you will find our Father’s Day Table, adorned with a variety of Guinness products. We’ve got Guinness T-shirts, keychains, bottle openers, Guinness golf balls, baseball caps (with a bottle opener in the brim!!!) and even Guinness Sticky Onion Marmalade. In the realm of things Scottish, Donegal Square carries a variety of Mullingar Pewter products, such as pocket watches, whiskey glasses, and goblets.

If Your husband Says He Has Everything

If your father fancies Celtic jewelry, our man Keith Jack has a line of dragon weave bracelets that are not only attractive, but durable. And of course, we are the best place to find a true Celtic Cross. Our men’s Celtic cross pendants prove to be the perfect gift, time and time again.

For Your Adventure Buddy

If your father fancies the out of doors, our Dubarry Boots can withstand any and all weather. Most Importantly like most things in our shoppe, imported straight from Ireland. As the world reopens and travel becomes possible, ensure your father is traveling in style with one of our Harris Tweed duffle bags. They’re great for a trip to the British Isles, of course, but the Caribbean sounds pretty nice too!

Happy Father’s Day


I hope your mind is racing with Father’s Day gift possibilities. For 35 years, dads and grandads have been coming through our doors, bringing parents, loved ones, and children, exploring their heritage and taking something memorable with them on the way out. That thing isn’t always tangible. Sometimes it is simply the memory of time spent in this place, with family. And for that we are most proud. Happy Fathers Day, gentlemen. Sláinte!

Plan your visit

At age 11, I sold a farmer’s wife a bra in the Ladies Dress Shop that my Mum ran in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. So began my entrepreneurial adventure. Fairly early on I knew a career involving entrepreneurship, sales, and being around people was in the cards for me.  

Growing up in Lambeg, a small village eight miles from Belfast, I was reared partly by my Granny McCarthy while my Mum went to work. My Mum and Dad had gone to work early in life with no opportunity for advanced education because of their family circumstances and the outbreak of World War II. Even though my parents didn’t have an abundance of money, there was always food on the table. Great breads, scones and baked goods were always part of my upbringing.

Sports have always been a huge part of my life, and because of my love for them I managed to get a Grammar School Education by receiving a scholarship (which also enabled me to participate in all the sports I enjoyed). When I first came to the USA to live, following a trans-Atlantic field hockey romance, I was drawn to the idea of importing the things from Ireland and the UK that I missed the most. Following a period of experimenting with importing tweeds and knitwear for wholesale, I realized there was potential for a business in the Lehigh Valley. The ultimate goal for my wife and I (I married a local woman, Linda Shay, the same woman from the trans-Atlantic field hockey romance back in 1978) was to create a comfortable, friendly, warm atmosphere with a rich cultural experience — as if you were visiting Ireland.
