They start celebrating St. Patrick's Day early here in Florida. Yesterday, Sailfish Brewing Company and 2nd Street Bistro sponsored the St. Patrick's on 2nd Street Block Party in downtown Fort Pierce, and the place was packed with people. There was live music, vendors selling merchandise, and, of course, stands selling Sailfish beer. There was even a bounce house castle for the kids, although they had to leave their beers outside. Lots of people were wearing St. Patrick's Day T-shirts, but unlike in Denver, nobody was dressed like a leprechaun - probably too warm here for an outfit like that.
Meanwhile, down at Cobb's Landing, there were lots of people at the outside tiki bar also wearing those St. Patrick's Day T-shirts, no doubt sitting at the bar insisting that the Irish invented tiki bars. And the revelry continues today in Jensen Beach, where Mulligan's Beach and Sports Bar and AC Doctors are sponsoring the Jensen Beach St. Patrick's Day Festivities and Parade. Once again, they will be having food, vendors, music and a parade that begins at 2:00 P.M. All great fun, although I do have to say that since it was a hot and sunny day yesterday, and the same weather is predicted for today, and this being Florida, the largest crowds yesterday were at the beach, and that will probably be the case today, too. No doubt the beach crowd are just not the religious types.
