Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a parade

March 20, 2019 By Special to The Laker/Lutz News

The Tampa Bay Golf and Country Club community in San Antonio had its first St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 16, with a 1-mile route beginning at the Community Center and heading down Old Tampa Bay Drive.

The parade featured dozens of residents in their decorated golf carts; the marching band talent of IMPACT Drum and Bugle Corp., based in Orlando; dancers from Nicole’s Dance Center; a Pasco County Fire Rescue truck; and, numerous scout troops.

Many parade participants passed out beads and candy to the audience.

After the parade, a celebration took place at the main clubhouse, complete with an Irish buffet and green beer.
