Saint Patrick's Day Useppa Style - Pictures and Thoughts by UseppaGin - The tradition goes back years. Decorated people and golf carts parade up and down the beach led by an Admiral and the Useppa Fire Truck. Way back the Admiral was a tall burly man, one of the first Useppa Island Club residents. This year his great grandson Ned led the parade. Folks who used to march watched from the sidelines as a new generation of grownups and children celebrated the holiday. Everyone won a prize but some winners were more distinguished than others with better dance moves or a slightly wittier presentation (painted coconuts were green eggs … and ham). Useppa’s first Parade Admiral had to be looking down with a smile.
