After the morning’s Sharin’ o’ the Green 5k run I went to watch the the Fort Collins St. Patrick’s Day Parade, just a couple of blocks away. It was really good, with participants from all sorts of organizations (local clubs and businesses, peace activists, city council candidates, etc.) marching through Old Town for about two hours.
