Part two of Pontiac’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations swept the county over the weekend and into Monday. From Quyon to Chichester, communities served up everything from Irish teas and kitchen parties to good old fashioned Irish stew, all with a healthy dose of live music, old and new. While THE EQUITY couldn’t be everywhere, we did our best to capture a taste of the weekend’s festivities.

Whether you were young, young at heart, or not young at all, we hope that wherever you ended up celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year was full of cheer, the music was sham-rockin’, and friends and family were around to raise a glass. To the Pontiac! Sláinte!

Volunteers serve a dinner of homemade Irish stew and bread to more than 30 guests of Le Patro’s Jeunes de Coeur group for those over the age of 50. From left are Suzanne Dazé, Ginette Savoie, Andrée Sicard, Mona Durocher Davis and Maurice Lacroix.
