St. Pats Has Begun in Chitown!

While the official day isn't until next Wednesday, St. Pats has already begun in Chicago. This morning at 10:45 a.m. they're dying the river green and the downtown parade will take place this afternoon. Last night the Cuthberts kicked things off with Senator Dan Cronin's annual St. Patrick's Day dinner. Corn beef, cabbage, potatoes, Guinness, the works. What I always love about this party and the Shannon Highland Rovers who fill the room with bagpipes and drums and the flurry of Irish dancers.
