It's Still On: Congressman Gerry Connolly's St. Patrick's Day Fete

Event in Fairfax Monday night will include straw poll for 8th congressional District race.

The winter weather Monday is not canceling Congressman Gerry Connolly's 20th Annual St. Patrick's Day Fete.

The event will be held Monday night, starting at 7 p.m. at the Kena Temple, 9001 Arlington Blvd. in Fairfax. 

"Kena will be plowed and the weatherman says the sun will make the roads much better by late afternoon," said Connolly spokesman George Burke.

"As Democrats, we are undaunted by a bit of snow on the day we all wear a bit of green," he said. "So, plan on attending tonight, voting in the 8th congressional District straw poll, and enjoying good Irish fare and great company."
