On a sunny but bitterly cold day at the memorial on the waterfront, local Irish folks received some very warming news.

One New Jersey supermarket chain really does it up bigtime on St. Paddy's Day, with live music, leprechauns, free toys for the kids, and potted shamrocks for the adults. Plus free eats! Of course, you know it has to be Murphy's!

A look at the high points and hijinks of St. Patrick's Day 2008.

Pete Hand celebrated being the grand marshal of the Conshohocken St. Patrick's Day Parade. And a whole bunch of people celebrated with him.

You can misplace Paddy Moloney's pipes, but you can't keep a good band down.

OK, only about four minutes of the parade, but you'll get the idea.

Pipe bands, mummers, Irish dancers, candy--who could ask for anything more? See all the fun here.
