St Patrick’s Parade Committee Designer Bag Bingo Co-chair Alyson Sliwa talked more about the upcoming event and said, “We’re really excited about it. We think it’s going to bring in a good crowd as well and this all helps us with the upcoming parade season. Our season actually starts Oct. 1 and runs throughout the whole year so this will either be used for the float when it needs to be built, things for the Collen Ball in February and all kind of things like that.”
