How do you say Westport without saying Westport? Jillian Elder of Finding Westport — the online seller of iconic “Westport” t-shirts, mugs and other goodies — wondered.

Shouldn’t that read the Partrick wetlands?
Yes
Umm. Someone really should tell Jillian that she has a misspelling on her Westport centric T-Shirts. It is Partrick Wetlands not Patrick. Ooops!
I checked out her site and there is, unfortunately, yet another misspelling. In her Exit 18 T-Shirt it is Greens Farms not Green Farms. You can pick or choose whether to include the apostrophe. I refer you to this classic 06880 blog from 2010 on that subject. https://06880danwoog.com/2010/06/29/more-signs-of-the-times/amp/
Partrick’s brother Patrick Wetlands gets all the credit 🙂
I love the bird photo but think that it is a great blue heron!
Love the Westport t shirt but Partrick is spelled wrong 🙁
Yes, but isn’t it PARTRICK? But maybe that’s misspelled on purpose…?
It’s Partrick. Jillian will fix it, and the Green’s Farms error, on all shirts.
