You can’t be too young to enjoy a parade - or too young to honor your roots.
The crowds cheered for marchers during the Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day Parade last Sunday in Greenwood Lake.
On Sunday, Sept. 19, the Village of Greenwood Lake hosted the Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
As Mayor Jesse Dwyer offered: “It was a great day for the Irish.”
On its Facebook page, village officials recognized those who worked behind the scenes to make the parade happen:
Big thank you to Mathew Buckley for suggesting to the Mid-Hudson Parade Committee to have it in Greenwood Lake when things fell through with Goshen. Not only did Mathew Buckley help secure the parade but he also was in charge of the breakfast before the parade.
Big thank you to Maureen Mulcahy for her parade expertise and help with organizing the day. Thank you to all the volunteers that helped with parking.
We are very lucky to have Chief Adam Eirand, who was part of the planning and made it flawless with police, parking and traffic. From obtaining signs, notifying different agencies and residents. Thank you to Greenwood Lake Police Department, Warwick Police Department and Orange County Sheriff’s for your assistance with road closures.
Big thank you to all our sponsors. You helped make this parade a great day for the Village of Greenwood Lake and showing what our village has to offer.
