St. Patrick's Day Arrives at Elks Lodge in Paramus

The Paramus Elks hosted its annual St. Patrick's Day party Saturday.  After the guests finished their traditional Irish meal of corn beef, potatoes and cabbage there was a special appearance by the Police Pipes and Drums of Bergen County. They played some Irish tunes along with some bagpiper classics after marching through the crowd to fill the dance floor. Members of the Elks cooked more than 500 pounds of corn beef, 250 pounds of potatoes and 250 pounds of cabbage to feed all who attended. Many of the people in attendance wore green tops, ties and hats, which lent to the celebration. The Elks Club collected donations for armed forces. The rest of the evening was full of dancing and Irish classics.
