The Saint Patrick's Day Parade is quickly approaching. This Sunday, the Hartford Parade Committee will be holding a fundraiser to help defray the costs of putting the parade on.
This year, Hartford is proud to honor:
--Father Tom Gallagher, of Saint Patrick Saint Anthony Church as Town Marshal
--Meghan Freed and Kristin Marcroft, Hartford attorneys, as Town Honorees.
There will be delicious food, raffle, and good times to be had.
Donation: $25/cash bar
Kevin,Sorry for being a D#%K and putting a damper on parade day,,,BUT why can't Hartford figure out a way to keep the THOUSANDS of people who come on parade day and stay after it ends???? New Haven utilizes their Green for after parade festivities,why can't we use Bushnell Park in the same fashion? Kevin please help facilitate a post parade celebration
ReplyDeleteYou might want to take a walk around downtown after the parade. The Russian Lady, salute, pigs Eye, mckinnon's , Vaughn's and most places downtown are packed by parade goers. And rather than funnel everyone into a park, this is actually an economic benefit to Hartford businesses trying to make a living
ReplyDeleteIt is the one day bars depend on to make some money. But if going to the Russian Lady block, be sure to keep the noise level to an absolute minimum so you don't upset Sarah Bronin!!!
DeleteIf they base their business model on one day of sales, I would suggest a different line of work . The drunkenness, the litter, the numerous fights, as well as the numerous violations of 4-3, and various other liquor laws shouldn't be encouraged or tolerated

ReplyDeleteKevin, did you see this?
Eddie Perez will be headed back to court with two SEPARATE trials for the two separate charges. The judge denied his motion to dismiss the charges.

ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone said they base their business on one day, but it is definitely one day that helps the bottom line. Have you ever observed other "cultural events" in the City to see what goes on? The Saint Patrick's Day parade is tame compared to others, and the Parade Committee actually pays their bill to the City every year instead of being a drain on the City's budget
The West Indian parade and the Spanish parade are less volatile than the Irish parade check the stats
ReplyDeletePastor Pablo,
ReplyDeleteCan you please enlighten us as to those stats? if you even have such "stats" or if they exist. The Saint Patrick's Day Parade is one of the safest events held that attracts such large crowds. I have never heard of one gun arrest or a homicide at the Parade, or afterwards.
Can the events you mention say the same thing?
Kevin as far as serious crimes shootings maybe a stabbing here or there no but as far as bar fights fist fights in which I can name a few of your favorite hartford police officers were involved in but the cases were either dismissed or thrown out yes the Irish parade has more you really want to go there coarse I can name names and cases ??!!!
ReplyDeletePastor Pablo, Bring it on if you have it, but I am willing to bet you have no clue what you are talking about. And if you are going to start posting allegations, please have the guts to use your real name. Again, I am willing to bet you wont do that either.
ReplyDeleteRacism can take many different forms, and making negative comments such as yours without any backup is racist.
And yes, I am proud of my heritage and willing to defend it
Let us all take a moment and pray for Pastor Pablo.
