Glen Cove Pols Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Parade

GLEN COVE, NY — Glen Cove’s Mayor Pamela Panzenbeck and the City Council paid tribute to the founder of the city's St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday, by posing for a photo along the parade route.

Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton said she is especially proud to march in the parade each year because her father, Donald DeRiggi, launched
the parade in 1989 while serving as mayor at the suggestion of his wife, Millie (nee Murphy), who has always taken great pride in her Irish heritage, her office said.

Panzenbeck and the City Council paid posed for a photo with DeRiggi-Whitton and her parents after spotting them along the parade route.

“Whether you’re Irish or not, the Glen Cove St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a wonderful event for
the entire family to enjoy,” DeRiggi-Whitton said. “Congratulations to Grand
Marshal Christine Rice and the entire parade committee who works so hard to keep this tradition
thriving year after year!”
