Bring Some Fun and Imagination to your Next March Madness Party

It has been a long and dreary winter here in the Midwest.  It feels like months since I have seen the sun.  But we are heading into one of the best times of year.  Spring break is right around the corner.  The weather will (hopefully!) be getting warmer.  And the NCAA Basketball Tournament is about to start.  It is so exciting to fill out my bracket and hope for the best. I come from and Irish Catholic (BIG!) family and we have had a NCAA pool going for decades. It has become so big that the payout is thousands of dollars!  I love to have my family over to share in the fun of watching the next “Bracket Buster” game!  I have rounded up some great March Madness Party Ideas to take your party to the next level.

Whether it is an easy-to-eat finger food or decoration that your guests will get a kick out of, these ideas are quick, easy and full of imagination.  The internet is a wonderful place!
