A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our pancake breakfast fundraiser! Because of your generous support, we raised an incredible $1,646! Big thank you as well to Billy Wilson's Ageing Still for hosting us again!

We are overwhelmed by everyone’s support and community spirit you all showed. And another round of applause for our wonderful Stewards, who kept up with the service for every hungry guest.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the Halfway to St. Patrick’s day, more information on that as we get closer.

Sláinte!

You have to be bold to handle the cold! The Friendly Sons once again were able to represent during the Norwich St. Patrick’s day parade, big thanks to all who attended and supported us!

The Friendly Sons were excited to once again march in the Norwich St. Patrick’s day parade, and our own Mike Dougherty had a chance to get interviewed by The Day!

Big thank you to everyone who braved the cold and showed their support!

The Saint Patrick's Day spirit was alive and well in the downtown area, where the annual parade and festival was held Sunday. But it seemed that below-freezing temperatures had kept some people home.

Yesterday’s Halfway to St. Patty’s Day was another great success, in part to all the FSOP friends and family that came out! A big thanks to everyone, including the crew of Billy Wilson’s Ageing Still, who kept the Corn Beef cooking and cold beer flowing. Looking forward to next year!
