“Joe, Are you going to watch the St. Patrick’s Day parade?” “Yep, I’d love to watch the parade, especially performances of the St. Paul Bouncing Team* in the parade.”

Here is a bouncing performance example of the St. Paul bouncing Team < www.exploreamerica.info > : Photo Gallery > National Holidays > 1 - 6 > St. Patrick's Day > 2003 > Parade > Others > Bouncing Team

This past December, Tom** told us that the St. Paul Bouncing Team --- A female member is tossed high in the air using a blanket --- has been attending the St. Paul Winter Carnival⁺since the very first one. As you know, the St. Paul Winter Carnival has a long history and is very famous across the country. It's really interesting to learn the fact that the Bouncing Team originates from the hunting traditions of Eskimos*. The team will also perform in the St. Patrick’s Day parades in St. Paul and Minneapolis, MN.
