“TODAY – You are IRISH or YOU WANT to BE”
“The very best part of any PARADE – – is that small children get to see it and be a part of it – – in person and up front” – -In other words “a ‘real ‘hands on’ – – being included in something – – that will remain as the most important and a number one “terrific memory” for ever!”
“This PHOTO – – will be the very best childhood memory – – that this child will have – – and never ever be able to forget this most memorable and exciting DAY!”
“HONORARY GUEST”
We welcomed our dignitaries, from Ireland and the St. Louis area. Our guests were joined by the Mayor of St. Louis, the St. Louis County Executive, other local and regional officials, and the parade’s general chairman in leading our parade.
“Looks like a whole lot of GREEN… These men in uniform do so proudly carry our important Flags – – with honor for all to see and to be proud to be living in Saint Louis, Missouri – – a GRAND STATE in the United STATES.
This is what we want to see.. when you are IRISH”
