Photos: Step Dancing and Fashion Show Highlight Shamrock Festival

This year's Shamrock Festival, held the day after St. Patrick's Day at the Civic Center, was the first to feature a fashion show. Many local merchants and salons contributed time and resources to the event. Tickets to the event were sold out.

Event Chair Paul DiNocco said, "One of our main purposes of the Event Planning Committee is to enhance community awareness to the needs of merchants. We do that by getting the community involved in (our) events."
