The Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day was more than a month ago but its spirit lingers on.
On Wednesday, April 18, prize winners picked up their awards at Finnigan’s Wake in Philadelphia, where the presidency of the Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day Observance Association passed from Kathy McGee Burns to Bob Gessler, founder of the Hibernian Hunger Project.
The Vince Gallagher Band and singer, Karen Boyce McCollum, provided the dancing music at the event, which was attended by members of the CBS3 parade coverage team who also handed out awards.
We were there and have lots of photos.
