Even the Norwegian town of Petersburg Alaska knows how to honor the Irish. This years parade was held amidst rain and snow but the marchers carried on proud of their heritage and history. This years parade had all walks of life join in on the fun; from children who were apart of their local girl scout troop organization to the nursing homes van with its wonderful residents aboard. The parade was a short and sweet one and ended in the atrium up at the long term care arm of the hospital. We love our little island nestled away in South East Alaska — bag pipes and green cookies were enjoyed by all! The luck of the Irish was amongst us!
