 Despite the efforts of one of her bodyguards, I  managed to get a photo this week of the 2010 St. Patrick’s Day Celebration grand marshal, Emily Monaghan.
The screenshot on the right is from the ad in the March Northfield Entertainment Guide.
See this 20-second video of the Folding Chair Precision Marching Unit from the 2007 parage which included Northfield City Councilors Jim Pokorney and Noah Cashman. I’m not sure if this will be in this year’s parade:

 Northfield Ward 1 City Councilor Jim Pokorney was our guest this week, talking about A) the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day parade on March 13; and B) what else, City Council communications.
I neglected to take a photo of him so I’ve recycled one from a previous podcast, plus another of him in his St. Patrick’s Day hat and electric sweater.

 Encouraged by the reception to their study of a tunnel under the Hwy. 19 railroad crossing (see pages 5-7 of this PDF update), engineers at Bolton and Menk announced this morning that they’re studying the advantages of an aerial tram across Hw3 at 3rd St.
It would connect the Northfield Area Chamber of Commerce to downtown Northfield near Bridge Square.
“We think this is a perfect example of our firm’s ability to ‘think outside the bridge’ said consultant Kris Chroamdoam. "Not only would this solve the problem of connecting both sides of Northfield for pedestrians, it could be a huge tourist attraction.”
Councilor Jim Pokorney, the only member of the Council to vote against the $50,000 study (officially called the Hwy 3 & 19 Multimodal Transportation Study) could not be reached for comment as he reportedly was on his way to visit the Aerial Tram in Portland Oregon.

Here’s the event poster for the festivities downtown this Saturday in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, beginning with a parade downtown, followed by the second annual Irish/American Idol competition at the Grand. Put a green bandanna on your dog and come on downtown!
