It's almost time for the grand annual tradition: the Morris County St. Patrick's Day Parade.
The parade lineup is set (see attached pdf) for the procession, which will start at noon March 9 at the corner of South and James streets in Morristown. The parade will proceed up South Street, around the Green, and end at Atno Avenue.
Almost 70,000 are expected on parade day, which begins with a Mass at 10 a.m. at the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 91 Maple Ave.

Wow! 70,000 people coming to Morristown? If they all spend an average of $100 in Morristown that day (and with the price gouging at the bars, its VERY easy to), it sounds like a pretty good pay day for Mo-town businesses!
