Its true. Youre all used to the Pirates of Dogfish. On March 11, 2012, in honor of the Milton St. Pattys Day Parade we became Leprechauns.

The parade is sponsored each year by Irish Eyes of Milton to benefit one of our favorite charities, Casa San Francisco, the homeless shelter also located in Milton. Our Leprechaun Ship was one of many floats to parade down Union Street.

My Irish clan included me and grand-daughter Jalyn with her best friend Alyssa. The McCarter family joined us, Mark, Nicole, Jade and Heron. John and Jane OWren pulled the float with their big truck. Leprechaun Timothy OParrott danced an Irish jig and handed out candy to parade attendees. Traveling to the parade line up we actually boat-napped the McSelders Family Bryan, Ali, Charlie and Max and their little Irish dog.

A grand time was had by all and we are looking very forward to next years festivities!

Erin go braugh!
