Given the many Cranford residents who claim some Irish heritage, it might be surprising to learn that there's never been a St. Patrick's Day parade in town. That changes on March 16 when the community's first such parade will kickoff at 1 pm at the Community Center and wind it way down Walnut and North Union avenues.

Two of the people behind the march are Mayor Terrance Curran and Barry O'Donovan.

Barry is the former owner of Kilkenny House. I interviewed Barry in 2014.

A number of businesses and individuals are sponsoring the festivities. Cougar Headquarters is selling merchandise to help deck you out.

I speak with Barry and Terry on this week's Cranford Radio podcast.
