Caitlin and her brother George – along Mary and her brother Patrick – are the wee, wee folks who just so happen to be the heirs and heiresses of the South Side Irish Parade.
"She was in the first parade," said Mary, 6."She was only 3."The four grandkids are the beneficiaries of a rich, South Side tradition – started by Pat Coakley and George Hendry, two longtime neighbors and friends back in 1979.
Mr. Coakley and Mr. Hendry felt their kids were missing out, so they brought some neighbors together and got to marching. "Afterwards, to celebrate, they came to our garage, and we gave them Twinkies and Kool-Aid – so that was the first after party," added Ms. Hendry. "During this week and a half, we sell about 10 tons – which is about 20,000 pounds of corned beef," said Tom Baffes, President of County Fair Foods.
