What a Green Bunch of Fun this weekend will be! Chicago Loves St. Patty's Day; as they say everyone in Chicago is Irish for St. Patrick's Day. Every bar in the City has a party to attend with Green Beer and Corned Beef galore.
Starting Saturday March 13th, at 10:45am people line up along the Michigan Avenue Bridge and Wacker Street to see the Mayor in his Little Boat pour magic into the Chicago River and turn it Green. Believe it or not, it does turn a very Emerald colored green. I have only watched this event once with my Mum who was 82 years old at the time and we both were mesmerized and giddey! Quite the site! Don't miss it if you are here in the city. Then to follow is the famous Chicago 55th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, which begins at 12noon. That is were all the crazy people come out and then some not so crazy. But, most will be dressed in Green along with hats and beads and what ever else green they can find. So be sure to take in some St. Patrick's Day fun and even if you don't, just look around the city and you will see all of the characters.
Signing Off and have a Green Weekend!
