PARSIPPANY — It’s a known fact that the Irish know how to party. On a bright, sunny afternoon in March, the McGinley family hosted a party for over 150 close friends and family. The McGinley’s host this party every year!
Farmingdale Drive was closed to the public and the party extended from the front yard of the McGinley’s onto Farmingdale Drive.
The party started with an inflatable outside bar, completely stocked. Then the Morris County Police Pipes and Drums performed walking up Farmingdale Drive, and ended with a special 83rd birthday song for Ella Hayles better known as “Mema.”
After the Pipes and Drums then Mike Miscel’s One Man Party Band entertained as well as a local artist, Caricatures by Steve Nyman and then some great magic for all by Silly Willy.
The food was plentiful, all Irish treats. The favorite was Irish cabbage lasagna amongst Shepherd’s pie, Irish Bacon & Cabbage, Beef & Guinness Stew, Watercress Soup with Whiskey Cream and Baked Codfish with Irish Cheese Crust.
Only the Irish closed the street, invite over 150 friends that came and enjoyed the music, food and entertainment.
