Mayor Nicholas Sacco was among the distinguished guests invited to lead Guttenberg’s second annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Party. Joining him were Assemblywoman Angelica Jimenez, Hudson County Schools of Technology Board Secretary Joseph Muniz, Guttenberg Mayor Wayne Zitt and the entire town council, and other local and regional dignitaries.
Bagpipers and a police color guard led the parade, along with the parade’s grand marshal, popular 74-year-old Guttenberg resident Thomasena Fantry. Following behind were a large crowd of local residents and a cavalcade of vehicles from Guttenberg, North Hudson Regional Fire Department, the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office, and other agencies.
Beginning at 68th Street and Madison Street at a little past 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 17, the procession zigzagged through the streets of Guttenberg, ending up on Park Avenue, where a stage was set up outside Wild Rover Pub near 71st Street. Sean Kerrigan, owner of the Wild Rover, was named Guttenberg Businessman of the Year.
