Ezra St St. Patrick's Day Party - Markster - 02-26-2016
Ezra St St. Patrick's Day Party
A new annual tradition!
The second biggest drinking-fest of the year!
All the drinking, none of the corporate BS of KW Oktoberfest®!
A true street festival in the classic sense!
Endless source of hand-wringing!
But what about the children?!?!?

For 2016, the city is giving up on their licensed tent on Seagram.

It appears that the feeling is that the additional tent just legitimized the street party.
The Record then published an editorial about it:

Where they.... don't really say any opinions of substance.

Canadians are such funny people.
St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. They actually have three patron saints.
Some say St. Joseph is the patron saint of Canada. Canada has four patron saints.
St. Joseph's day is on March 19, two days after St. Patrick. Why don't we celebrate it? We could have a big booze-up with white and/or red beer and dress up as lumberjacks, or something.
Any thoughts or are ya' all in shock that we have a patron saint at all? Ohhhh Canada.
