NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The March of Dimes and area Noshville restaurants helped everyone get a head start on the St. Patrick's Day celebrations Friday morning. "Breakfast for Babies" kicked off, and a little luck o' the Irish and all things green is helping save newborns fighting for their lives. The griddles are going green, and so is everyone else at the Noshville restaurants around town Friday. Not just because it's getting closer to St. Patrick's Day, but because it's the annual "Breakfast for Babies". Friday's event helps kids like Hawkins. Hawkins was born 2.5 months early, and it's hard to believe when he was born, he weighed about as much as 3 ketchup bottles. Hawkins is a healthy 6 year old now. He's the face of the March of Dimes this year, helping raise money for other babies who were born prematurely like he was.
"It's so funny because St. Patrick's Day was Hawkins' due date," says Hawkins' mother Anna Pate. "He was born in early January, of course, so St. Patrick's Day is always a holiday we love to celebrate."
Celebrate they did! Customers dressed in green and got to pick from a very festive Dr. Seuss inspired menu of green eggs and shamrock ham, but that's not all.
"They can make anything green actually," says March of Dimes' Phil Toothman.
"It started with green eggs and ham, but then it became oatmeal, green pancakes, green breakfast bowls, and before the night's over, there may be some green beer too," says Noshville Restaurant's Jay Young.
Don't forget the most important green, but Hawkins has already got that covered. Half of today's breakfast sales from all 3 Noshville restaurants will go directly to the local chapter of the March of Dimes.

Tishomingo County voters OK beer, alcohol sales
May 22, 2013 23:38 GMT
IUKA, Miss. (AP) -- Tishomingo County is the latest Mississippi jurisdiction to legalize alcohol sales.
Voters approved the sale of liquor, wine and beer Tuesday, reports the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/13JCcix).
It wasn't clear referendums would pass until affidavit ballots were counted Wednesday.
With more than half Tishomingo County's voters casting ballots, legalizing alcohol passed by 42 votes, while legalizing beer and light wine passed by 73. The county borders Alabama and Tennessee.
Lawmakers legalized liquor at a proposed resort at the county's Bay Springs Lake in 2010, but it wasn't built.
Greene County voters legalized beer sales last year, while Corinth, New Albany and Senatobia have legalized alcohol sales under a 2012 law that allows cities to hold votes.
Mississippi has 13 remaining counties that allow no beer or alcohol sales.
