Saint Patrick’s Day March 17, a Tuesday. Crown Point celebrates on Tuesday. If you would like to be in the night time parade, applications for entries are online at http://www.corownpoint.in.gov. This is a great family party. Once again you can have your head shaved at the fire department for St. Baldric’s Day. Funds go to help research a cure for childhood cancer. The firefighters are not doing the shaving. Professional barbers have volunteered to do the honors in the ambulance bay. Don’t leave the fire house yet. Corned beef dinners will be served before the start of the parade, then everyone goes over to the parade route up Main Street or on the square where the reviewing stand is.
