St Paddy’s Day event at Dunn Gaherins cancelled

by | Mar 11, 2020 | Newton | 2 comments

Friday morning’s scheduled annual Newton Political Roast has been cancelled out of concern for the Covid-19 situation.

For our elected officials, this brings two forms of relief.  

  • They will not unnecessarily be mingling in a public gathering with the threat from this worrisome virus growing by the day.
  • They will not  unnecessarily be exposing themselves to heaps of abuse and ridicule from our two scheduled hosts – Greg Reibman and Josh Krintzman.

We hate to waste all that good material.  Maybe we’ll have to get to work on a Skype version of the event.

Be well everyone … and if you see any of our elected officials in the coming days, no handshakes, just a friendly kick in the shin.

    Good decision. I know this whole thing is discouraging, but that is our life for a while to come.

    On abuse and ridicule, there are so many forums and possibilities! I see a YouTube in Krintzman’s and Reibman’s future . . .

    I’m hoping we can do St. Patrick’s Day in April or May, once we’re through this.
