Cicero senior residents packed Cicero’s Community Center on Wednesday, March 2, to welcome Spring with the annual Hearts & Shamrocks Dinner and Dance.
A celebration of Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day, the annual midday gathering has marked the start of the spring activities in Cicero for several years now. This year, Town President Larry Dominick welcomed the large crowd to the Community Center, where revelers dined on a traditional Irish meal of corned beef, rye bread, and potatoes while listening to a live band perform an array of popular tunes from the American Songbook.
Dominick praised Susan Banks, director of senior activities, and Ryan Chlada, director of Senior Services, for coordinating the festive event and said he is eager to see what is in store for the next senior gathering.
