The Saint Patrick's Banner at the top of Greenwich Avenue
What Santa Claus is to Christmas this Greenman might be to Saint Patrick's Day. This might be the beginning a new American Icon. He wears an orange beard and lots of green. There's some kind of similar thing here...maybe he could show us the End of the Rainbow to that Pot 'O Gold. Is it Santa Patrick?
Before the Parade started, Farricker's Brownies got together in the staging area of the Steamboat Road parking lot.
