Patrick's Parade

Patrick leading the way.  The parade started out in the sun but before it was over,  hail was coming down.  Regardless of the weather it was a fun day for all in Killybegs.

the parade

commenced and there was no rain just cold temps and wind.  Behind the people were trucks with bunting, fire engines, ambulances and a few tractors, all with ads for their services.   The people walking looked cold but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.  Another fun small community event, well done by everyone.

st. patrick's day parade 1

The parade started at 2:30 sharpish.  It was raining and we heard on the radio that a few communities in county Donegal were cancelling their festivities because of rain and gusty winds.  Moville still went ahead with their parade regardless of the rain and wind.  It was a great event in a small rural village, fun for everyone.
I'll be showing more of the parade on Sunday.
