Former Philadelphia Parade Grand Marshal (2005) Vince Gallagher sits in wth the band, including John McGroary.
About midway through the Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day Parade Pre-Party at Finnigan’s Wake, parade chairman Michael J. Bradley, Jr., asked CBS3 meteorologist Kathy Orr to offer up her predictions for the weather this Sunday. Orr, who will co-anchor the parade with Larry Mendte, had to concede that, alas, there would be rain.
Ahhhhhhhh … what’s a little rain?
And with that, the joint was jumping.
OK, truth is, it had been jumping all night. With a lovely spread provided by Finnigan’s Wake, and music and dance provided by some of Philly’s best, that big upper room was the place to be.
