On March 17 at 4pm the St. Charles, The St. Patrick’s Day parade took place on Main Street. The parade consisted of several floats and varieties of groups of people performing on the street. The parade was short but exciting consisting of lots of beads and candy being thrown into the crowd. This year’s parade was the first one that St. Charles had had on Main Street; however, now it will be an yearly annual tradition. The parade was short but exciting and lots of fun. Although the parade was extremely busy it was a positive atmosphere for attendees. (Photos by: Kim Koiser, Ethan McCoy, Reina Murell, Kaylee Monroe, Chloe Perkins and Landon Wortmann)
