THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE FRIENDLY SONS
Our 30th Parade was a phenominal success!!!! |
The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick want to thank all of the GREAT people of Spokane for making the 30th annual parade a SMASHING SUCCESS. We had record, or a near record number of entries and crowds packed the parade route, even though the weather was somewhat chilly!
The Friendly Sons of St. Patick are partnered up again this year with Second Harvest Food Bank and Southwest Airlines in helping to support not only the parade but to help raise donations and awareness to Second Harvest.
Planning will begin in a few months in preparation for our 31st annual parade. In the meantime, stay tuned for the winning ticket that was drawn during the parade for 2 Southwest Airline "Fly anywhere" tickets..

Watch for news on our next meeting, coming to you via e-mail or mail. Please also let us know how we did with this year's parade and how we might improve our next edition.
