SUMMARY:St. Patrick’s Day Parade
DESCRIPTION:St. Patrick’s Day is a big event in Valentine. Since 2019\, the parade has been held in Midtown\, starting at Linwood and Broadway and going south along Broadway to 43rd Street. According to the parade committee\, “The area around Redemptorist Catholic Church where the parade starts was traditionally called Kerry Patch in the 1800s after the large Irish immigrant population living there. Many of the stone buildings in the neighborhood were built by Irish with limestone quarried by Irish in the Penn Valley Park area.” \nValentine residents need to be aware that no parking will be enforced along the parade route starting at 5 a.m. on the 17th. Police will begin ticketing and towing vehicles off the route at that time. The entire route will begin closing on March 17th starting at 8 a.m. from the south section of Broadway moving north to 31st street. \nThe parade goes on\, rain\, snow\, or shine\, as logn as the parade committee feels it is safe. \nMore details about the route and preparing for the parade are on the committee’s website.

SUMMARY:Luminaria creating and lighting
DESCRIPTION:It has been a longtime holiday tradition for Valentine and the surrounding neighborhoods to prepare luminaria on Christmas Eve. These are candles placed in paper bags and lit at sunset\, to line the streets and create a festive atmosphere on the night before Christmas. \nHowever\, it is a lot of work to prepare the luminaria and they are expensive. Since very few people participated in the preparation last year\, the board voted to discontinue the tradition UNLESS someone or several people come forward to take responsibility for putting the bags together\, distributing them and lighting them. \nWe do still have candles and other necessary components left over from last year\, so we are planning to assemble the luminaria possible for the last time on Christmas Eve\, Dec. 24 at 1 p.m. We have not yet chosen a location\, but add this to your calendar and watch this newsletter for updates. \nWe will be gathering at 1 p.m. on December 24th to prepare bags for the Christmas Luminaria. The location will be communicated closer to the date. \nAlso note that the number of candles that get placed around the neighborhood is contingent upon the number of people who volunteer to help. IN other words\, if you want to make sure there are luminaria in front of your house\, you should show up to help.
