GOSHEN — The Mid-Hudson St. Patrick's Parade Committee kicks off St. Patrick's Day from 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 19, at Kelley Jean's Restaurant, located at 145 North Church St., Goshen.

Entertainment will be provided by the Pipes and Drums of the AOH of Orange County, Dublin DJ Paul Byrne, and Irish step dancers

The $20 donation includes two drink vouchers (beer or wine) and unlimited appetizers and giveaways.

The 36th Annual Mid Hudson St. Patrick's Parade will be held on Sunday, March 11, stepping off at 2 p.m. from the county building in the Village of Goshen.

Because of the many budget constraints all municipalities are facing this year, the village is charging the parade committee to have the parade in Goshen for the first time ever. The committee wants to be able to keep the parade in the county hub, and Kelley Jean's owner, Kelley English, has given the committee a venue for its fundraising efforts.

"The recently opened Kelley Jean's is already working with the community to help out where she can," a committee statement said. "It will be a great afternoon, and we hope to see everyone, especially the Goshen residents, come out to support keeping the parade in Goshen."
