For Love of the Irish...

Dublin, Ohio had the annual St. Patrick's Day parade this past weekend. I had never been and thought, why not.  As stated on this blog before, I think, I'm not a fan of parades, but it is Irish, so maybe.

There were horses wearing green and floats.

A band wearing green but not playing Irish music. Color Guard wearing, pink--WHAT?  Men in Kilts--YES!!!

 More men in kilts--WOOT!  Men in aran sweaters--Woot, Woot!  Large Macy-esk balloons in the shape of a pot of gold.

There were 1st place floats with float riders.  And...MORE KILTS!

St. Patrick himself walked in the parade.  People dressed in silly outfits.  Dogs with green ties drove golf carts.  And more dogs with green scarves walked on all fours.

Macy-esk balloons of shamrocks danced past street lights.  More dogs walked on all fours.  More bands wore green.

There was Lou (in thought, he forgot to jump in my bag) and more bands, and more floats.

Fire trucks decorated in green. People dressed as leprechauns. Alf-that's right Alf! AND --------More Kilts!!!!!!!

The parade had a lot of green and was a good one time experience, but I was disappointed there was not more Irish music. I'm just saying.
