St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Mark your calendar and join us for the St. Patrick’s Day parade on Saturday, March 15th.

We are looking for some energetic young people aged 9-10 and up through teens to be a part of a small dance ensemble to march to some fun upbeat music.  We have a dance instructor who will put together some “marching dance” moves as we frolic down Route 64 in downtown St. Charles.  Please email saintcharlestownshipdems@gmail.com to let us know if any of your kiddos are interested!

Some of our elected officials will be on hand and many candidates running in our municipal election will be marching as well!  Step off is at 2:00 p.m. but we will gather an hour early for pictures and instructions.

Let me know if you have further questions.  We hope you can join in to make it festive and fun!
