The Montauk Friends of Erin is looking for more float entries for its 60th Jubilee St. Patrick's Day parade on March 27. Kathy Keller can be called at 631-335-4122 to be included in the parade lineup. There is no charge to enter, but the prize for winning floats is substantial: bragging rights for at least a year.
