Take the third Saturday in
March, add some sunshine and
warm weather, toss in some green
floats, bands, food and beverages,
add a generous dose of arts, crafts
and entertainment, and you have
all the right ingredients for a St.
Patrick's Day celebration in Five
Points.
This is what the St. Patrick's
Oav fplpHra tir\n f'rvmrr-iittoo hop
? ^vivuiuuuu VUU1IU1UVV IIO.O
coordinated for its eighth year, (the
weather is still pending, however),
and this year promises to be bigger
and better than ever.
The celebration in Five Points
raises money for children's charity
funds. This year's benefiting charities
include the Adam Walsh Child
Resource Center, Carolina Children's
Home, Special Olympics,
Camp Hope and many other organizations.
Last year, more than
$325,000 was donated.
"Every bit of that money goes
directly to the children, not to pay
a secretary or a coordinator," said 1
Richard Campbell, chairman of the
St. Patrick's Day Celebration in !
Five Points. i
illu- /c
"This money goes right to the >
heart of the matter," he said, "and *
we hope to raise more money than i
ever this year."
The headquarters of this year's e
celebration will be open today I
through Friday _ The headquarters t
are located at 2001 Green St. and i
will be open from noon to 6 p.m. ?
to distribute official "Top of the c
day from Five Points" T-shirts, 1
buttons, balloons and other t
souvenirs.

Marshal, leading the parade '
through Five Points. The parade 1
route is the same as last year ?
beginning at Harden and Gervais J
streets, traveling down Harden 1
Street to Blossom Street and disbanding
at Green Street.
With already more than 100
confirmed entries, the parade will
begin at 10 a.m. and last an hour
to an hour and a half.
For easy viewing of the parade, ,
it is suggested to arrive around I'
9:15 a.m. on Blossom or Harden
streets. Parking will be provided at
the parking garages on Assembly
Street. Drivers should be at the
garages by 9:00 a.m.
A shuttle, sponsored by South
Carolina Electric and Gas Company
and WMFX-FM 102, will
provide transportation to Five
Points from the garages, the Radisson,
Marriott and Town House
hotels. The shuttle will run between
8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. and
should pick-up every fifteen -Jf,
minutes.
"There is no charge for the
shuttle, and we strongly recommend
using it," Campbell said. "It
IS!#y
vill be easier for everyone to park
it the garages than to find a space
lear Five Points."
More than 150,000 people are
;xpected to fill the streets of Five
Joints to enjoy the festivities of
he Irish holiday. Booths containng
arts and crafts from leather
;oods to handmade jewelry and
