PHOTO GALLERY: Wearin' of the Green at Little Silver Firehouse

The annual St. Patty's Day party brought the community together for an afternoon of music and fun.

Falling snow for most of the day did little to dampen the spirits of partygoers gathered beneath the tent at the Little Silver Firehouse's Annual St. Patrick's Day Party. When we stopped by at dinnertime, there was Irish dancing, plenty of beer and corned beef and hundreds of members of the community celebrating the annual wearing of the green.
