Several of the original charter members of the Colorado Emerald Society gathered at Nallen’s Pub in Denver to commemorate 20 years of the Society’s existance. It all began at Nallen’s when a few folks sat down to discuss the possibility of “Irish” police officers and firefighters gathering to march in the 2001 St Patrick’s Day Parade.
