Paddy on the River

It's been a long winter and local residents were ready to shed the cabin fever Saturday as hundreds showed to celebrate St. Patrick's Day a little early at Poughkeepsie's Paddy on the River.

It's hard to predict how an outdoor event will go, especially when it's March on the banks of the Hudson River. But the sun was shining and hundreds showed to enjoy the Irish music, food, and adult beverages Saturday in the City of Poughkeepsie.

Paddy on the River Returns to Waryas Park in Poughkeepsie on March 10 from 11 am to 5 pm.

I've introduced a lot of bands on stages big and small over my many years at WRRV. I've screwed up my own name, but I've never screwed up the band's name... until Saturday.

We've all shoveled, shivered, and sniffled our way through these past few weeks and doggone it, we deserve a day to let loose and have some fun.

Old Man Winter and Mother Nature are not playing very nice with us this year, forcing the Leprechaun Convention to re-convene and come to a decision.

The most popular dish in Ireland is something Americans have probably never even tried before.
