Downtown Pinckney St. Patrick’s Day Parade
On March 12, 2011, Pinckney celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with their annual parade.  The parade started at noon and with Post & Unit leading off the parade.   I would like to thank Jeff Beemer owner of Ed Bock Feeds & Stuff for volunteering his truck & trailer so our members who cannot walk the parade route, can still participate in the parade!

Trivia Question:   A pin-up photo of what actress adorned the first test bomb dropped on Bikini atoll in the Marshall Islands in July 1946?

Dinner for St. Patrick’s Day
On March 12, 2011, our Auxiliary hosted a corned beef and cabbage dinner with all the trimmings after the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade took place in downtown Pinckney earlier in the day.    Everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed the meal.   We would like to give a big Thank You to our Auxiliary member, Georgianna Allen for cooking and chairing this event!
