‘Green Eggs and Ham’ breakfast, movie pairing set for Saturday

GREENFIELD — Looking for a way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with their customers, Brad’s Place owner Dan Devine and Garden Cinemas co-owner Isaac Mass found themselves thinking about all things green.

On Saturday, March 12, Brad’s Place will offer a “Green Eggs and Ham” special for $5. Then, at 11 a.m., the neighboring Garden Cinemas will offer a free screening of the 1973 animated special, “Green Eggs and Ham,” based on Geisel’s 1960 book.
