St. Patrick's Day 2002
The day dawned bleak and dreary. Only twice before since we opened has it rained on The Day. It was also cold. The coldest Paddy's Day we have ever had. But that did not detract from the crowd or their spirits.
Once again we were packed with the sons and daughters of the Emerald Isle. Our faithful friends could truly lay claim to the once disparaging but
now-honorable title of
"C.B. Hannegan's Bog Trotter."
