FALLS VILLAGE — About 25 people to the Senior Center on Main Street for a traditional St. Patrick’s Day lunch Thursday, March 13.

Theresa Graney andTina Hanlon fiddled with the Sterno canisters under the hot trays while people added suspiciously green desserts to the potluck table.

The main event, corned beef and cabbage, came from Theresa Freund.

There was so much food that people balked at piling any more on their plates, reasoning they could always make a second trip.
