Anna Pattison sliced countless potatoes for the Lakeville Hose Company’s St. Patrick’s Day Dinner

LAKEVILLE — A couple hours before the 5 p.m. start of the Lakeville Hose Company Ladies Auxiliary St. Patrick’s Day dinner, Anna Pattison was on potato slicing duty.

Watching her manipulate tuber and slicer, it was apparent she had done it before.

Elsewhere a crew held a brief discussion on technique and proceeded to slice Irish soda bread. There was a lot of it.

Inside the dining area there were tables laden with 140-plus raffle items. A completely arbitrary sample: a wood bead bracelet from Dara Robinson; a lemon basket from the Buckley family; a gift certificate from On The Run; a gift certificate from Kristi Spear, hair stylist; and a flex pass from Sharon Playhouse.

Pattison said the team was preparing enough food for 250 people: “We usually come close to selling out.”
