ST. PATRICKS DAY

So Jen & I got roped into walking in the St. Patricks Day Parade with Melissa's company.
I wasn't very excited about having to get up early on Saturday morning, but being the BA that I am, I got up & we went down to Old Town. We stood around for about an hour, then we gathered up a huge load of balloons, a bag of candy and were off to the STAGING AREA. Where we stood around for another hour. Then we were off at a snails pace.
Looking Good

Looking Real Good!

So for the first half a block or so, we were CELEBRITIES.
People, kids & adults alike, were cheering for us as they wanted a balloons and candy.
Who knew that free old/stale candy and balloons would make people go so insane.
By the time we hit College we had given out all the balloons and most of the candy.
We had no idea how many people actually attended this thing.
We had barely started the parade and we were out of swag.
We sent team member into City Drug for more candy, so we would have something to pass out.

I felt stupid just walking, not giving out anything. Some kid ask me for my shirt. Weird.

Any Candy Left?


Just before the car broke down, we had to push it part of the way.
The crowd loved us pushing the car.
Plus, it took away from the fact that we had nothing for them.

Bag Pipers
Oh yeah, Erin was there.This is just after they ask me to stop my RIVER DANCING.

GO TEAM!

It was actually a good time, for a good cause.........
