Parade, Parties, Food to Mark St. Pat's
March 16, 2018
A happy twist of the calendar puts St. Patrick’s Day on a Saturday this year, and just about everyone will be a little bit Irish for a few hours.
The pages of the Antigo Daily Journal have been filled with ideas for celebrating the big day, with green beer flowing and corned beef and cabbage simmering across the region.
And March, an unusually fractious month, promises a bit of lamb-like behavior, with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-40s predicted.
PICKEREL PARADE
The 29th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, headquartered at The Country Inn on Highway 55 and Highway D, kicks off at noon, and everyone is invited to come early..stay late.
The parade offers a bit of early spring tomfoolery, with floats from local businesses and civic groups sharing the route with fire trucks, snowmobile trail groomers and whatever else people pull out of their garages or barns.
The Pearson-Pickerel Lions Club float in the 2017
Pickerel parade. It starts, again, Saturday at noon.
Country Inn will be serving green beer, brats, burgers and corned beef outside starting at 11 a.m. with proceeds donated to Pickerel Emergency Medical Services. Inside, the restaurant will begin serving corned beef and cabbage at 11 a.m.
