We're gearing up for the Annual St. Patrick's Parade in Manchester! The 2008 event promises to be bigger and better than last year. Although the signs of growth that we're seeing are encouraging and rewarding, the costs to produce the caliber of event that we would like to produce continue to rise.

You can add your business to the list, with a donation, or sponsor an entry and get your company's name on a banner in front of that entry to be seen by THOUSANDS. (estimated attendance for 2005 was 80,000 people)

We would appreciate any support that you can offer. Please send any donation that you're able to send to:
