Missy Yedesko hopes the procession lifted the spirits of people in the community. We were trying to keep it low. It was a secret, hush, hush, but little by little if one knew, the other knew, and they told someone and told a friend, but it s something, said Yedesko of Pittston. I think people will be a little sad because they can t be out here to participate but happy that the committee is still moving forward and doing something, said Mary Kroptavich, the Main Street Manager for the City of Pittston.
Parade committee members and a few members of the Wyoming Valley Pipe and Drum Band and the Emerald Isle Step Dancers were part of the event.
