No one at Longboat Harbour was getting pinched March 17.

About 120 residents grabbed their best green outfits and headbands, hats, wigs, glasses and even mustaches, for a St. Patrick’s Day bash Saturday night.

Following a catered dinner of corned beef and cabbage, citrus chicken and Irish soda bread, party goers enjoyed the sounds of DJ Saxman and bagpiper Russ Allen and took in a performance by the Drake School of Irish Dance.
