Upcoming road work/closure

Unfortunately, due to the current weather conditions, and the forecasted winds that could reach 40 mph with a winter storm advisory we’re going to have to cancel the Painesville Township Saint Patrick parade. As the morning progresses we continue to receive cancellations of participants in the parade as well. Our goal is to put on a parade that everyone can enjoy, and between the participant cancellations and the forecasted weather we realize that just wasn't going to be the reality today.
