For our family, it's not about green beer and beads, it's about tradition, heritage and making memories. The McCarthy St. Patrick's Day begins with attending the Irish Heritage Dance, then Walter Crawford's (this year's Grand Marshall) party at the Knights of Columbus, followed by Patrick's attendance to the
Fenian Irish Society Breakfast, putting together the family float and walking in the parade with the other Irish families in Savannah. We complete the date with a family lunch and then meeting our friends afterwards! This year will be a little special due to the recent loss of Patrick's Uncle Mike, but I will remember him well while putting together the huge bows for the float which was always his specialty! Hopefully I will honor him well!
For Thursday...
I have these
yummies on order for the parade and lunch:

And yes, it's normal to sport the signature J. Parker green blazer during the month of March in Savannah!

You two are the cutest Irish duo ever! We had our St. Patrick's Day parade here in Louisville Saturday, and many of us were saying we need to hit the one in Savannah at least once in our lives. BTW, great choices for your green wardrobe over the years - very stylish!
