St. Paddy's in Conyers
I decided to start in early inviting the Great South Eastern Kilt Society to come to Conyers on St. Paddy's Day for the parade and a kilt fest. There will be several places to visit, the street will be closed off, and it's always a lot of fun. People bring their kids, dogs, etc. Anyone who wanted to can just show up and walk in the parade, but there'll be folks who just stand and watch as well.
The parade is only two half-blocks long. Sometimes there'll be a Red Hat Society group, Girl Scouts, etc. Pretty wide open.
I hope the guys and ladies will turn out for an early evening. We can even form our own little parade contingent and maybe get our own piper to head the group.
Then we'll go to the Celtic Tavern or some other local establishment for a fine repast and telling of stories. Here's a couple of photos from years past:
This was two years ago.
This was last year. (Note that my granddaughter had grown! This year she'll probably pull me. )
Any takers?
