This year’s Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day grand marshal, Dan Harrell, set the bar high for all future GMs. In fashion, with his custom-made jacket and his embroidered cap, he is certainly a fancy Dan. To top it off, yesterday he threw a fundraiser for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade at the New Deck Tavern in University City.
The event started with a 0.317k Run, Jog or Walk (without spilling your drink) contest, going around the block. The 1st place finishers in each category even received medals. Inside the pub, there were many baskets filled with wonderful gifts to be auctioned off. As the Irish say, the craic was mighty and everyone had a great time.
