They won’t be wearin’ the green on the Green this weekend–concerns about the coronavirus have postponed the Morris County St. Patrick’s Parade.
You’ll want to call ahead to anything on our list, just to be sure it’s still a go. In fact, let’s call the whole thing off. The weekend.
Assume any event involving other humans is cancelled, unless one of them tells you otherwise–from at least six feet away.
