• ​​​2024 Nutley St. Patrick's Day Parade Dignitaries:

As you all know, the Officers and Trustees met over the summer to choose the 2024 Nutley St. Patrick’s Day Dignitaries. Last night,

President Deidre Hollywood was able to officially make the announcement at our general meeting. This is a special group. We are proud and excited

to have them represent our organization. Each one of these people do so much for the community, yet are more of the “behind the scenes” type

people. They are all so humble, they didn’t think they deserved this honor.  We are proud to be able to put them all in the spotlight and give them the

recognition and honor that they deserve!

 

We present to you the 2024 Nutley St. Patrick's Day Parade Dignitaries!

 

Grand Marshal – Det. Capt. Robert Irwin, Nutley Police Department

Deputy Grand Marshal – Maureen Callaghan

Member of the Year – Barbara O'Halloran

Firefighter of the Year – Lt. Gabe Miller, Nutley Fire Department

Parade Queen – Tara Catherine Reid ​
