Irish spirit shines through the rain in Bethlehem

Typically, the annual Bethlehem Parade of the Shamrocks is a rain or shine event.


But this year organizers say one of the biggest reasons for cancelling it was due to the number of participants that were not able to attend.


"It really would not have been much of a parade, and just for the safety of everyone," Jayne Ann Recker, Executive Director of the Celtic Cultural Alliance, said.


However the weather didn't stop plenty of people from coming out and enjoying a pint at McCarthy's Restaurant and Red Stag Pub on Saturday.


"If you stopped doing things for rain in Ireland then you would never do anything," McCarthy's Restaurant and Red Stag Pub owner, Neville Gardner said.


While major events like the parade are integral in bringing business to stores along Main Street in Bethlehem, some stores like the Moravian Book Shop, relied on their own events to draw customers.


"We still have people in town that came out for the parade," Janelle Lockett of the Moravian Book Shop said. "Lots of locals like to come in on a day just to say, 'hi.'"
