Woodstock – Local residents have the opportunity to support critical children and family programs at United Services 17th Annual Irish Night, to be held Friday, March 16 at The Mansion at Bald Hill in Woodstock.
Irish Night includes a gourmet corned beef and cabbage dinner, with fish and vegetarian options available.
Live music with Irish sing-alongs will be performed by Eastern Connecticut’s own Kala Farnham, an award-winning performing songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
