    Scranton St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2014

    Let’s hear it for the Scranton St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2014!!!  It’s a family tradition on my husband’s side and I was able to finally make it.  It is an over-the-top expression of pride and love for Eire.  Everyone wore green, decorated their dogs and waved to attract the attention of the floats that were throwing shirts, beads, candy and other goodies.  Vendors hawked green cotton candy, emerald feather boas, horns that sounded like bull elk calling to each other when blown and hot pretzels.  Churches had tables for free coffee, hot chocolate or simply a place to stand together against the cold wind.
