MARCH 2010
March 12 St. Paddy's Parade - 5pm down Main Street
in Old Forge. This is a "don't miss" event!
This is the best (and only) Irish Parade in the Adirondacks.
Creativity is always the main theme of this parade. Along
with the usual participants, many groups are secretly
making costumes and floats that will be a surprise for
this year’s parade. Individuals now try to outdo
their prior year’s costumes or floats. Parade favorites
return year after year. Local pickups with snowplows will
entertain while in formation, under the name Synchronized
Snowplows. The Old Forge Redheads group will be there,
as will the Old Forge Irish Setters Club (which still
has many dogs, but no Irish Setters). The Precision Shopping
Carts will again be weaving their formations up Main Street,
in spite of the poor physical conditioning of the pushers!
After the parade, everyone is welcome at The Old Forge
Fire Hall to sample Irish Stews that are made by local
residents, and are judged for Best Irish Stew by the public.
Soda bread and green beverages are also offered to everyone
free of charge.
March 13-14 Snofest - By mid-March many snowmobilers

Thousands of snowmobile enthusiasts take advantage of
this opportunity to be the first to preview next year’s
line of sleds and gear. Gates to the North Street Recreation
Center will be open on Saturday from 9am to 9pm, and on
Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Admission is free. There will
be Freestyle Snocross Shows all three days, with a Back-Flip
Fireworks Finale on Saturday at 7pm. Signage will indicate
designated parking areas and shuttle busses will be running
to transport event goers. Snofest 2010 is brought to you
by the Central Adirondack Association. For more information,
