Hundreds Turn Out for St. Patrick's Day in Putnam

Folks young and old showed up Sunday for the 2013 Northern Westchester-Putnam St. Patrick's Day Parade, the third biggest event of its kind in the state.

Grand Marshal Timothy Maher, a member of the Irish-American Social Club of Northern Westchester and Putnam Counties, joined scores of organizations for a walk down sunny Route 6 in Mahopac.

Marchers hailed from all over the Hudson Valley, including Cold Spring, Kent, Larchmont, New Fairfield, CT, North Salem, Patterson and Yorktown.

Locally, members of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office and state troopers led the parade. Members of the county legislator also attended, as did students from the Kelly-Oster School of Irish Dance in Southeast.
