 The and the St Patrick’s Day Parade in each received nine votes or, 30 percent of the total vote in this week's Reader Choice Poll.

 It is our practice to let the comments below the article break ties, but because we didn’t receive any pertaining to either entry, your local St. "Patches’" Day editors did the choosing.

 Having said that, the winner is … the St. Patrick’s Day Parade!

Oh, and why not still take a sip at Old Towne Sports Pub bar after watching the parade go by?
