St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Today we went down to North Little Rock for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, sponsored by the Irish Cultural Society of Arkansas. Here are a few highlights:
Some of our Arkansas Celtic Music Society friends:
The Lyon College Pipe Band:

The McCafferty School of Irish Dance (where I actually took some lessons last year!):
A very talented group of young fiddlers called Shamrock Strings:
