Somers Senior Center Turns Green for St. Patrick's Day

Somers Senior Center Celebrates St. Patrick's Day

The Somers Senior Center will turn a “wee bit” Irish on Thursday, March 14th, as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and enjoy great “Pub Style” Irish melodies from the “Irish to the Last Drop” singers and musicians. This group of five singers and musicians (Tom Curtiss, John and Ellen O’Shaughnessy, Joe King, and Don Benevides), all of whom reside in the Vernon area, began singing together many years ago at a church fundraiser. That success encouraged them to continue, and they have been harmonizing for Connecticut audiences ever since. That’s no “blarney.”

Feel free to “wear the green” and get into the spirit of this fun event. You don’t have to be Irish! Perhaps some of you will show us a wee Irish Jig! Enjoy the great entertainment and light refreshments between 1 to 3 p.m. at the Somers Senior Center, 19 Battle Street. 

Tickets must be purchased in advance. The price is $2 for Somers seniors and $5 for out of town seniors. Tickets sales will begin March 1st and must be purchased no later than March 11th. No tickets will be sold at the door. Any questions, please call (860) 763-4379. This event is sponsored by the Town of Somers Senior Center. It will be “Top of the Afternoon to You” on March 14th. See you there!
