They partied hearty Thursday night at the CBS3 studios in Philadelphia. St. Patrick’s Day Observance Committee President Kathy McGee Burns and Parade Director Michael Bradley presented the parade’s Grand Marshal, labor leader John Dougherty, and the Ring of Honor
who will march in the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade on Sunday, March 11.
The parade is broadcast on CBS3 and sister station, CW Philly, so the Channel 3 Eyewitness New team that also serves as its parade team joined invited party-goers at a buffet dinner with music (by most of the Celtic rock group, Blackthorn). On hand were anchors Susan Barnett and Chris May, meteorologist Kathy Orr along with 3’s newest weather reporter, Katie Bilo, traffic reporter Bob Kelly, consumer reporter Jim Donovan, and General Manager John Hightower.
We got our invites, attended the party, and captured at least some of the fun at this annual event that kicks off St. Patrick’s Month. Check out our photos.
