And a Good Time Was Had By All...
Every one’s a wee bit Irish in March and on Sunday March 10 shamrocks and “pots ‘o gold” on the sidewalks marked Norwich’s first annual St. Practice Day celebration as about eighty revelers from all over southeastern CT gathered for a pub tour. Chacers’ warm welcome started the festivities off with a sea of green beads, derbies and glittery green paraphernalia while Irish favorites filled the room and had party goers tapping their toes. The clan moved on to Billy Wilson’s for wings and ‘more’ while staff playfully tossed more beads into the crowd. Music and laughter filled the room and spilled out into the street as the merrymaking moved on up the street for the finale at the Harp and Dragon.Â
Urban Renewal Happens Indoors...
Construction workers with gold sledge hammers? No- they’re the ladies of Harp and Dragon! On Thursday March 7 the Harp and Dragon Irish Pub had an impromptu ‘wall breaking’ to kick off the second phase of their expansion. Urban renewal often happens indoors and is invisible to the street; celebrations like ‘wall breakings’ show the public that improvements really are happening. About 20 employees, city leaders, neighboring business owners, and the ‘real’ construction crew were on hand to witness that indoor equivalent of a ground breaking - complete with gold sledge hammers instead of shovels.
