This past weekend’s Irish Festival was a great success despite the cold temperatures! I want to sincerely thank Sean Flannery and Frank Pascale, owners of Sheelan’s Crossing, for their incredibly hard work and sponsorship of this wonderful community event. Sheelan’s Crossing is so much more than just our favorite neighborhood pub. Thank you from all of us!

A special thank you also to all of the event sponsors for helping make the Irish festival as success: Tito’s, Landmark, Elite Properties, T and M Associates, Coldwell Banker Westfield Office, PAL Scotch Plains Fanwood, Scotch Plains Fanwood Rotary, Tiffany Natural Pharmacy, Two Rivers Bank, Unity Bank, Fanwood Pharmacy and Chelsea Senior Living.

I appreciate everyone who came out to the Irish Festival this year and I look forward to another successful St. Patrick’s day event next year!

-Mayor Colleen Mahr
