Shriners Return to Parade

The Savannah Morning News reports that the Alee Temple Shriners, absent from the last three St. Patrick's Day Parades, will return this year. The Parade Comittee and the Shriners have come to terms that will limit the number of Shriner units in the interest of shortening the Parade.

I think this is good, even though the Shriners have no affiliation with the mother land. For the kids, this is the best part of the Parade. I remember getting pictures with the belly dancer and receiving citations from the Keystone Cops when I was a wee lad.

Also making an appearance in the 181st edition is Vince Dooly, who is to march with Uga. Pat, this may be the best parade for you yet.

33 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!
