Larger only is the one in New York. But this one’s probably more fun. Well, there’s about 275 units in the parade. This year and with about 45 bands, it’s the biggest parade we’ve had yet to date. obviously not everybody here is Irish. No, but there’s most of them, which they were. What’s your name? Steve Alexander. Now, are you Irish? Yeah, for real. Now. Not just for today, No, just for an area. Are you Irish? Yes, I am. Now. Where do you trace your roots back to right back to Ireland where I have relatives from all over Ireland. How about you? Um, my mother and my grandmother’s from Dublin Ireland, as with any parade. This one attracted such well-known Irish politicians as David Oman, Stanley O Aronoff and Gerald Os Springer. There were also *** lot of business people. Are you selling *** lot of flags and hats? Few, few, the highlight that it’s honest, I’ll see you later. but now my friends, I’d like to leave you with *** little bit of wonderful news. Today’s not Saint Patty’s Day at all. It’s Tuesday. So, if you missed today’s parade or even if you didn’t, you can have *** lot more fun in just two more days. This is Jeff o’er, for the news.
