I mean that literally. I’m the Secretary of the Carbon County Labor Chapter, AFL-CIO, and I’m recruiting people to march with us in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Jim Thorpe on Sunday, March 15. You don’t have to be a union member, just a supporter. And you don’t have to be Irish, because on St. Patrick’s Day, everyone is Irish.
The route is about two miles long, all down hill. The problem is to find parking; the lot by the railroad station fills up fast. You can also park by the Jim Thorpe High School and get shuttled over by bus. Buses from the Courthouse will run you up to the staging area, which is at the upper end of Broadway.
Our marchers will wear green T-shirts (we have large, extra-large, and XXX large, which you can wear over a coat or sweater.) The T-shirts say “Proud to be Irish, Proud to be Union.” After the march you can keep the T-shirt as a souvenir.
Let me know if you’d like to march. 610-377-0235.
By the way, a number of spectators also serve shot glasses of whiskey to the marchers. That may be another incentive.
