Prairie du Chien, WI – March 14, 2015 – Traditionally, the St. Pat's Day Parade is a rather bracing affair that carries such a nip in the air that only the stout-hearted, traditionalist Irish, and fun loving Irish-for-a-day souls attend blowing warm air on their cupped cold hands. Not this year. The unseasonably warm weather brought out a huge crowd that stood happily along Blackhawk Avenue enjoying the warm spring like morning. The parade was much longer than usual, with participants moving at a more relaxed pace. Be sure to watch the video as Tom Nelson again adds the local color and excitement to the parade. mwnews.net
