The 2008 St. Patricks Day Parade And Party Was A Great Success!

• 1st Place Pipes and Drums
  Police Pipes And Drums
  
• 1st Place Color Guard
  Police Color Guard
  
• 2nd Place Marching Units
  GWPES Emerald Society

It was cold and windy marching but the feedback I got from people that were watching was that we looked sharper than we ever have and that was evident by the awards.

Congratulations to all who participated especially the color guard who looked like they were parasailing down Park Ave at one point but kept it together.

Also great job by Bob Belsito calling cadence. I was a little disappointed that we didn't receive anything for the float but realize that the judges were probably so focused on how silly Fran Ford looked that they didn't give it a proper once over.

Thanks to those who helped make it happen especially Al " Picasso" Donoghue and Annie " Van Gough" St. Onge.

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THE PARTY- I'VE HEARD THAT I DID.

HAVE A GREAT ST. PATRICKS DAY
