Smilin’ Irishman Contest

What a contest! Four great contestants: FSOSP Alex Williams, Nice Guys Fred Gaston, ICSC Ian Linekin, and SDFFES Brendan McWalters, all vied for the coveted prize in front of a packed house. In the end, Alex took home the prize. And also a winner – the St. Patrick’s Day Parade with over $24K raised! Shout out to tireless workers Kelly Lane, Josie McCain, and of course, Dee Harmes. Congrats to all plus a salute to Trevor Wessman Lavelle being named the ICSC Man of the Year and Nancy Nichols, ICSC Woman of the Year!
