St. Patrick's Day: Irish eyes were smiling at Poor Herbie's
On St. Patrick's Day, the place to be in Madison was Poor Herbie's where the Guinness poured and a bagpiper played for friends and families who gathered to celebrate together.
Spirits were high and "green" as families and friends from Madison and surrounding towns came together at local Irish pub Poor Herbie's to celebrate on St. Patrick's Day.
Madison residents Linda and Ralph Peterson have been celebrating St. Patrick's Day with friends at Poor Herbie's for six years. They always make sure to wear unique bright green hats. "It has become a tradition," Linda Peterson said. "It's all about being festive and getting together with good friends."
Morris Plains resident and bagpiper John C. Downs Jr. was the featured entertainment for the lively crowd. Downs has been stopping in to perform for the patrons at Poor Herbie's on St. Patrick's Day for 15 years. "I usually make several stops and this is definitely one of the most packed spots," he said.
