Mission Bbq was booked up Friday, so St. Patrick’s Day was held during the regular Wednesday happy hour on March 15 at the Spanish Main Yacht Club.Â
Over 100 residents filled the clubhouse and spilled out into the pool area. Walter and Karl Hasenfus had the best seats in the house, relaxing in two loungers across the pool from the music. Pam Jefferies played saxophone, and John Rinell was on guitar.Â
Green tablecloths and shamrock centerpieces covered each table, and for those feeling the luck of the Irish, there was a 50/50 raffle.
