Saturday, March 11,
2017: Preparations were under for the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in downtown Brainerd. |
 |
 |
|
People and their animals could not resist the temptation to
dress in green. |
 |
| There was a costume contest for kids
too. |
 |
| They went all out to look Irish that
day. |
 |
| The parade started with a Color Guard
from the local
American
Legion, VFW,
and DAV showing
the flags. Temperatures were below freezing, but that was not a problem for these guys. |
 |
|
Green floats in the parade. |
 |
|
Everyone wanted to see them. |
 |
|
This one had an Irish rainbow. |
 |
|
Lots of floats. |
 |
|
Even royalty showed up. Brainerd's famous concrete water
tower is seen in the background. |
 |
|
These guys were every enthusiastic. |
 |
 |
| Yes, they were wearin' the green with big smiles. |
Quote of the day:
Everyone can be Irish at least one day a year. Mark
