Later that day, he attended Parade Day in Scranton, expressing gratitude to local union members: “Great day for Parade Day in Scranton! Thanks to the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 542 for the invite to ride on your float. Proud to celebrate NEPA’s Irish heritage and community spirit. “ The event is part of an annual tradition in Scranton that draws large crowds each year.
On March 15, Bresnahan continued his participation in St. Patrick’s Day events, posting: “Great celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with friends and community at both the Wilkes-Barre and Lackawanna Sons of St. Patrick dinners.
