St. Paddy Day
The St. Paddy Day dance at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 261, Forest Grove, on March 18, was a full-on success.
The Classmates entertained about 35 people after the weekly meat draw from 7 p.m. till late with their usual repertoire of lively music and the odd Irish song, making them a hit with all attending.
