It was cold and wet, which seems suitable for a day celebrating Irish heritage. These photos were taken at Hartford’s 2010 St. Patrick’s Day Parade.


The Ironworkers are always a favorite.


The last photo does not show them doing high kicks. Guess you had to be there.
One young lady (not pictured) was twirling a baton, with bare hands, which was impressive today because of how cold it was. I was not at all impressed, however, with some politicians (not going to name names) who, for the most part, seemed to be speedwalking their way through the parade. Sorry, but if Korean War veterans can amble along Main Street in drizzle, people decades younger than them should be able to handle typical New England weather.
