GOSHEN—The Mid-Hudson St. Patrick Parade committee had its first fundraiser at Kelley Jean’s Restaurant in Goshen on a frigid Feb. 14, a month before the parade on March 13. Within an hour the pub held standing-room only supporters who were enjoying Irish music and entertained by pipes and drums and step dancers.
Jason Fox, president of the parade committee, said the event is planned to build excitement, awareness, and publicity for the parade. “We call it a kick-off to St. Patrick’s day.” The parade will be traditional with marching bands, dance units, civic units, and soccer teams.
It's one of the best days of the year in the Village of Goshen.
