Tradition continues as Ansonia celebrates the Irish at Saturday ceremony


Despite Saturday's chilly weather, talented students from the Mulkerin School of Irish Dance offered the crowd an energetic performance.





Lifelong resident Jim Crowley was named Ansonia's Mayor for the Day. He regaled the crowd with many family stories from years past in Ansonia. 

Kala Farnham sang beautiful Irish ballads as she played harp and guitar outside City Hall. 

Kudos go to the Ansonia Cultural Commission for once again presenting a great program.
