The Schultz and Suhm families would like to express our appreciation and thanks to the organizers (Tim Phelan, Pat Deau, Jack Winkler and Bill Barns) of the First Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Pub Crawl.

We would also like to thank all the individuals, businesses, and organizations who participated in the parade, and the businesses involved in the pub crawl. Our families enjoyed dressing up, decorating vehicles and sharing our Irish hertitage with others. We have heard nothing but positive comments, and the turnout of residents was great. Fun was had by all.

Our hope is the City of Rhinelander will get involved next year and allow a longer closed parade route so its residents can make this a bigger and better event.

Ernie Schultz, Shane Suhm, Troy Suhm and families, Rhinelander
