Grand Marshal's Dinner St. Patrick's Day events scheduled
The 10th Annual Grand Marshals’ Dinner honoring John and Sue Sullivan and Dawn Delaney will be held on Saturday, Feb. 16, at the Lake Mohawk County Club located at 21 The Boardwalk in Sparta. The Grand Event begins with a cocktail hour at 6 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m.; followed by entertainment and recognition of our Grand Marshals.

The traditional presentation of the Grand Marshals’ Sash will follow. It has become a practice that the Grand Marshal designates a charity to receive the net proceeds of the St. Patrick’s Day charitable events.

Accordingly, this year’s Grand Marshals chose the Partnership for Social Services and the Sunrise House Foundation as the 2013 beneficiaries; the Tricky Tray at the dinner and our raffle will benefit these worthy causes. Reservation should be made at least a month early as seating is limited. St. Patrick's Day events scheduled
