The 11th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a success!
It was a brisk but sunny day that brought out a huge crowd for Madison’s 11th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Crowds lined the streets around Capitol Square in all their shades of green watching as the Honor Guard, bagpipers, dignitaries, bands, dancers, jugglers, flamethrowers, family clans, etc., moved around the square. To the delight of the children, there was candy galore and bubbles streaming in the air from the McCarthy-Family of the Year, electric bubble maker! Many spectators watched in excitement as the parade marched on. As quoted from Parade Chair, Cheryl Sullivan, “There were so many people and so many happy faces!” It twas truly a great day for the Irish
