Happy St. Patrick's Day

you can join the fun at the River Walk, it's all ready for the big day.  We walked it yesterday and was surprised at the job people did to create this fun excursion for the families and their kids.

Let's take the tour and see what we find.  First, the sign that greets you at the entrance, it tells you what you will find and see.  Make sure you to look for these items as you walk.

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.

St. Patrick's Day

have a happy one if you celebrate the day.  If it doesn't bucket down today, we'll be at the parade when it starts at 3pm.

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.
