Darbyshire Invasion!
Darby Connections founder Jimmy Darbyshire is the seventh of eleven children who grew up in Lake Orion. If you come to the Wednesday Euchres at the Irish Tavern in Downtown Lake Orion, there’s a good chance you’ll meet some of them. Believe it or not, Jimmy is the quiet one.
Last night, about half the family showed up—siblings Gretchen, Nellie, Audrey, Louise, and Heathcliff, along with his mom Genevieve, brother-in-law Jim, nieces Ivy and Layla, and nephew Vincent. Not all of them played, but they helped out and definitely added some excitement to the night.
Jimmy’s family wasn’t the only one represented. Regulars Julie and Tammy are a mother-daughter duo, and new members George and Kean are twin brothers.
We also welcomed five new members, including Edwin, who is the eighth of twelve children himself. At this rate, we might need a Family Feud Euchre Night.
It was a fun night, and once again we hit 20 players. Gretchen ended up being the WINNER! She was so dominant that she is well on her way to be the Month Champion. She also qualified for the Euchre Champions Playoff on April 1st for $225.
Thanks to everyone who came out!
