Think Spring! St.Patrick’s Day Parade is Coming Soon [PHOTOS]

There is no denying that this winter has simply been the worst in years.

That's why we need to recharge our batteries and groove on some memories of happier days gone by.

I suggest we just look back one year ago in a flashback to last year's St. Patrick's Day Parade!

The Cedar Rapids king of St. Patrick's Day is the SaPaDaPaSo (Saint Patrick's Day Parade Society).

And each year they host one of the nations's most enjoyable St. Pat/s Day celebration. Our town's St. Pat's Parade was recently ranked as the 4th best in the U.S. Watch out Boston, we're shooting for #1!

So let's take a moment to forget about the snow, the cold, the ice and wind. Let's instead enjoy the photo gallery from past St. Patrick's Day parades when the weather was warmer and that the hope of Spring was just around the corner.
