         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Saturday, March 14, 2015:  Mark and Paula stopped at the Last Turn Saloon in Brainerd for some lunch.  It was corned beef and cabbage in preparation for the St. Patrick's day parade that day.  Mark wore his green Irish hat.  They shared a mug of green beer.
Then it was out on the street to see how people were dressing for the parade.  Some really took the Irish look to heart.
 
Young ladies were trying to outdo each other in their dress that day.  No end of imagination including green  mustaches.
 
Then the parade started with the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars color guard holding their flags high.
They were followed by Irish flags.  Very fitting for the day.
 
A vintage 1919 fire engine from the Brainerd Fire Department was there along with some interesting looking characters.
 
The Loyal Order of the Grand Elbow was there too.  Does anyone know what they do?
 
One interesting entry from Waste Management was a motorized trash dumpster.  Very creative thinking!
Horses were an attraction for young children.
Quote of the day:    Everyone wants to be Irish on this day.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
