Spirits are Bubblin' in New Dublin

......Wisconsin that is!!

My hometown of New London, WI.....rich in Irish heritage, every year changes its name the week before St. Patricks Day to New Dublin, and then everyone goes nuts for a week. There is a huge parade which draws thousands of people and is said to be the largest St Patricks Day parade in the state. I usually get to ride in the parade on a fire truck and I take pictures of the spectators who are showing some Irish spirit. Here are just a few of the people that made it out that day.

Double dose of Irish Spirit	Looks like some Blarney, I mean Bernie and Cliff, engineers for New Dublin Fire Dept	Friendly parade goers	Feel Lucky, Donna H??
Hmmm.......	Wearin' of the Green	Pretty in Green	Another hmmm.........
Top 'o the mornin' to you ladies!	Best seat in the parade	A fine not so Irish lad on the sax	Someone you can really look up to
The Wacky Wheeler	Doggone Cute	Whaddaya think they really wear under those kilts?
		Officer B keepin' traffic movin' along
Finnegans Wake	Oh, oh there seems to be a problem	This isn't lookin' good	Poor Finnegan flys out the back of the hearse
Dead End	Finnegans mourners	The widow Finnegan	Father Coyle lookin' more like his daughter these days
		Guess he's a fan of Baileys	Dancin' an Irish Jig

Tammie, what an interesting parade. We may try to see it next year. It looks similar to our Twin-O-Rama days here in Cassville (July). It's lost some of its oomph over the years, but is still a big draw. I really love living in a small community, living among a thousand residents after living around millions most of my life, what a pleasure! You can actually hear life going on around you. Great photo journal. Thanks for sharing, Ed
