Chilly weather doesn't dampen spirit of Westmont's St. Paddy's Festival

WESTMONT — The Westmont community showed off its Irish side this weekend at the first annual Holy Trinity St. Paddy's Day Festival, with crowds donning green attire in the spirit of the St. Patrick's Day holiday.

The festival was held Friday evening and all-day Saturday at Holy Trinity Catholic School in Westmont.
Despite the cold and rainy weather, organizers said they were very pleased with the event.

"The turnout for some of the events was not as good as we thought, and a lot of that had to do with the weather," said Keith Sellers, one of the organizers. "But those that did come out seemed very happy, and they are already talking about next year."
