There's a lot of pride. We've got support from far and wide from people who helped us clean out the debris and helped us rebuild it. We've got great music, great bands with Irish dancers throughout the day. What's a better way to celebrate an Irish day than with Irish people?

People will be pleasantly surprised at the differences.

I've lived in the states for 24 years and I've never gotten to go home on St. Patrick's day, but this is just like being home.
