For the second straight year, Bodie's Place was present at Milford's St. Patrick's Day Parade!  A staff of over 70 volunteers manned the enormous Bodie's float and helped spread the word about our project while everyone was Irish for a few hours.  Photos from the event will be forthcoming shortly, but Bodie's Place would like to thank the following individuals for making the event all it could be:

• Larry D'Addario of Hi Ho D'Addario for use of his trailer, warehouse and supplies
• Gary Montano of Montano Distributions for donating 10,000 pieces of candy which were received by parade goers.
• Glendale Farms for donating the hay used on the float
• Dick Williamson of Budget Trucks for donating all blankets used on the float.
• Gary and Laurel Williamson for usage of their truck, installation of the float rails and overseeing the setup and take down crews and driving the longest float in the parade
• Bob DeGennaro for tremendous help with set up and break down of float as well as hooking up electrical to enable Bodie's "sparks" to shine.
• Billy Ott for helping with set up and break down of float.
• Pat Burke and Frank Morabito for the creation 'Big Bodie'        
•  Brenda and Sam Bergami for creation of all Bodie Costumes
