About 150 supporters gathered for the Mary Still for State Representative, District 25 St. Patrick's Day kickoff at the Orr Street Art Gallery in Columbia. Music, food, drink and lots of conversation brightened the rainy evening. Jay Angoff, formerly of the rock band Brooklyn Bridge, entertained the crowd with the campaign theme song: "Still the One". Jay also served as Commissioner of Insurance under Governor Carnahan.
