Get ready for the 2nd annual “Slainte Sharon” St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 16, 2024!

Slainte (pronounced Slawn-cha) is a popular toast in Ireland and means ‘cheers’ and/or “to your health’ in Irish Gaelic.

These items will be donated to local animal organizations who will be judging the parade!
