ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE
42nd Annual Delray Beach St. Patrick's Day Parade
"Firefightin Up The Irish! ~ St. Pats!"
Saturday, March 13, 2009

Pre and Post Party, 11:00 am - 7:30 pm

Parade: 2:00 - 3:30 pm
(Atlantic Avenue from Gleason Street to Swinton Ave)

Beer $3 from 11-2, $4 from 2pm until...


The 42nd annual Delray Beach St. Patricks Day parade on March 13th, 2010 will be like no other in the history of parades in South Florida.

Hundreds of Firefighters from across the country have been invited to come be a part of this grand event. The complete parade route along Atlantic Ave. will be decorated at five key points with fire department ladder trucks from multiple fire departments with their ladders extended tip to tip, hanging huge flags that the entire parade will march under. Antique fire engines as well as modern day fire engines and apparatus. Fire department honor guard teams will march carrying flags and ornate fire axes. Fire department bagpipe band members from different fire department pipe and drum bands will march and play together. Uniformed marching firefighters, Dalmation dog owners, and professional fire clowns have been invited to delight the spectators. Civilians and parade sponsors will ride their decorated floats.

The FREE after-the-parade party will be located in Old School Square with food, beverages, and live entertainment from 11:00AM to 7:30PM. So there you have it. A full day and evening of fun to be had by everyone and a chance to show our appreciation to those of all nationalities, that serve in the emergency services for our communities. See you at the parade, and Erin Go Bragh !!!

While you're here, don't forget to visit some of the other attractions in the Delray Beach area. We have a convenient list for you.

For forty-two years now Delray Beach has hosted Florida's largest St Patrick's Day charity parade! This year will honor the founding father of our parade, Maury Power. As legend would have it, forty-one years ago, and spending his first St. Patrick's Day in South Florida, Maury Power lamented the lack of any local celebration of St. Patrick's Day. With just a little encouragement from his pals and a bit of Irish whiskey, he took up the challenge to have an impromptu parade right then and there. Maury left for a few minutes, only to return with his top hat and shillelagh and began a solitary stroll up the middle of Atlantic Avenue (much to the delight of his drinking buddies and chuckling passersby). When questioned as to just what he thought he was doing, parading up the middle of the Avenue, his proud response was, "I'm having a Parade!" Hundreds of thousands of people have attended the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Delray over the years, and it all started by one man's decision! Thanks Maury!

The Ins And Outs Of Online Dating
How Many Amphibians Do You Have To Kiss Before You Meet Mr./Ms. Right?

Helpful tips for anyone who is single!
Presented by Dale Koppel, PhD author of
The Intelligent Woman's Guide To Online Dating

Just three months shy of the big Six-0, Dale Koppel, PhD, found
herself suddenly single. Her seemingly perfect marriage of 25 years
was over. Twelve days later, ignoring her girlfriends who thought she
was moving too fast, she joined an online dating service. "Life's too
short," she told them. And she was right.

As she made her way through thousands of profiles and met hundreds -
yes, hundreds - of men, she learned how to make the most of online
dating, achieve her goals, and come out on top. She developed skills
and created strategies that really worked. And she had the best time!
Her book, THE INTELLIGENT WOMAN'S GUIDE TO ONLINE DATING: And She
Lived Happily Ever After (www.theintelligentwomansguide.com) tells
how she did it.

Her intriguing, inspiring, and often shocking workshops offer women
AND men the opportunity to find out what it takes to get through the
online dating jungle.

Whether you're currently doing online dating, but not having the
results you want; you've done online dating, but quit in frustration;
you've always wanted to do online dating but didn't know where or how
to begin (or didn't think online dating worked for someone your
age!), this workshop is for you.

If the name, Dale Koppel, looks familiar, that's probably because you
read her articles and columns (including her Social Security column
that ran for 13 years) in the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, The Miami
Herald, and The Palm Beach Post. Or maybe you're one of the 100+ men
who dated her! She currently lives with her Mr. Right who she met on
Match.com almost three years ago.
