If you look at it one way, this is not exactly the first time that we have been at the World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade. However, the prior occasions were decades ago, in a different location, with different sponsors, and prior to a multi-year hiatus for the parade. Much to the delight of Boulderites, the parade was resurrected this year with a new location north of the Pearl Street Mall and with the Odd Fellows stepping up to host the event. So looking at it with fresh eyes, this was a fabulous addition to our 70 in 70 quest - a sunny afternoon of cheering and laughter as the wolfhounds, bagpapers, dancers, cruisers, and crowd favorite Patio Furniture Drill Team made their way up and back the one block stretch of downtown Boulder.
Welcome back World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade!
