rly in the day on St Paddy’s, Sonny McLean’s Irish Pub is honored to host the Rescue 5 Fire Truck at the Pub starting at 10 am for a few hours.
This is a Fundraiser for Rescue 5. Rescue 5 had 12 firefighters when it went to the Towers on 9/11. One Firefighter survived so you have a lot of family feelings involved. Rescue 5 generally goes to schools etc for educational purposes and the shirts are sold to raise money to keep the truck on the road.
Be aware…this part of the day will not be treated as a party because of the sensitivity of Rescue 5. But if you’d like to support the cause, come by and buy a T-Shirt. Santa Monica is the first California City to host it. http://www.remembrance.com
The
actual St Paddy’s Day Party will kick off with live music at noon. The outdoor Beer Garden will be open…enjoy bands all day long with Irish and a mixture of music the rest of the day and night.
Traditional Irish Menu served all weekend and Monday. Corned Beef and Cabbage, entrée or sandwich, Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash, Shepherd’s Pie to name a few.
