RONAN — Despite cold, snowy weather, the 23rd annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade still brought out the masses March 17. The event was held by the Ronan Irish Community, and honored special guests Kevin Templer and Jim Morgan for their help throughout the years with the event.
“As usual the weather was a little dubious,” Carlene Bockman said. “But the Irish and Irish ‘cousins’ are a tough bunch. Thanks to all the spectators who are so important to those of us who try to put on the show.”
Bockman says the event was a success as always, and thanks the color guard and all who participated to make the parade a fun and successful event.
