Irish spirit alive in Yulan

Despite rain, parade a success

By LISA CUTRONI

YULAN, NY—April showers may bring flowers, but March rains seem to bring throngs of people to Yulan—for the 35th annual St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Spectators, with umbrellas in hand and spirit in their hearts, arrived well before the 1:00 p.m. parade starting time on March 12 to participate in the pre-parade festivities.

There was music provided by the Swing Shift Orchestra of Wurtsboro and a flute and guitar duet by Erin Slaver and her father, John Slaver, of Liberty. And of course, there was green—a lot of it. Everything from green Mardi Gras beads to green hats to the large green-painted shamrock at the intersection of Yulan could be seen.
