Pat Sketch was a long-time member and officer of the Kehoe Council Knights of Columbus in Ludlow. His birthday was March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, when his friends and relatives would all gather with him to celebrate in the best of Irish traditions.
That tradition and the celebration of all St. Patrick’s Day birthdays continues each year at the Ludlow K of C. on Tuesday, March 17. The 6th annual Pat Sketch Memorial St. Patrick’s Day Bash will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall, from 3 – 11 p.m., at 828 Elm St. in Ludlow. A $3 cover charge will be waived for anyone showing proof that their birthday is March 17.
The cash bar will feature low prices on Irish draft beers, canned beer and Irish whiskey. The kitchen will be serving corned beef and cabbage, Mulligan stew, fish and “Irish” fries. All activities are on the upper level, so there are no stairs to negotiate and there will be plenty of free parking.
Irish music will be played throughout the day by local DJ, Doctor T. There will be an appearance by the Irish Dancers, Bagpipers, singers and a special guest appearance by St. Patrick, himself. A tent will be added to the side of the hall to accommodate the patrons. Proceeds from this event will go toward funding the Kehoe Council Knights of Columbus’ many charitable endeavors.
The Knights of Columbus Hall is located at 828 Elm St. in Ludlow.
