St Patricks Day 2012 was a one of a kind!! The sun was out and it was in the 80's...unbelievable for March. We celebrated at Northpeak Brewery and that is where the parade kicked off with tons of people participating and lots of spectators along the parade route. Never has a St Patrick's Day had so many people in attendance or had such fantastic weather. Usually it is raining,sleeting, snowing, blowing or doing all of the above at once!!Heather and Patrick joined us along with Heathers brother Jim for the parade and festivities.
Mike was one of the Hibernians of the year along with Tim Smith and his father Lou for their work in getting permission to hold the Father Fred Dinner from the state of Michigan. A great feather in all of their caps as it took lots of networking and strong talk. (and a few cigars)
We had our annual party with the group of friends that have been getting together for the last 28 years and enjoyed happy hour on the deck...definitely a first...and lots of laughter with our Irish Auction. Pictured is Colleen (Clancy)Zanotti with "the parrot hat" that has made several appearances as a gift. She says she will be wearing it at next years parade!!!
Congratulations were abundant for Patrick and Heather with their recent announcement that a new Nolan is on the way.
Mike and I feel so blessed to have great family and friends here in Traverse City.
Love to all of you...Kathy and Michael
