Sorry about late posting.
We’ve added some photos (Irish Elvis, Irish Wolfhounds, We Love Being Irish,
Mayor Coleman, Clan Coleman) of the St. Paul St. Patrick’s Day Parade to photos
of St. Patrick’s Day:

We saw a lot of stuff such as many clans, bagpipers, St. Paul Bouncing Team*,
Irish Elvis, and Irish dogs like Irish Wolfhounds in the St. Paul St. Patrick’s
Day Parade. I also spotted a guy selling green cotton candy and a lady selling
green stem roses. I hear St. Patrick’s Day (St. Patty’s Day) is getting popular
all over the world. For example, one of our friends from Argentina says,
“Argentina celebrates St. Patrick’s Day and so does Mexico”. March 17th
is an awesome day because it’s spring.

Catholics in MN may
eat the traditional corned beef and cabbage** on Friday, St. Patrick’s Day, even
though it falls on a Friday in Lent when they are normally encouraged to abstain
from eating meat. For more story, see
