Greening and Shamrock Walk 2013

St. Patrick's Day landed on a Sunday this year!
The Greening of the Canal was moved to a Friday night in hopes of attracting more patrons.
It was also moved inside the Indianapolis Historic Society.
The had Eunan McIntyre to brighten the mood.  "I hope it's WHISKEY" was therefore coined!

The procession of drummers led the crowd to the canal.



The Irish Citizen of the Year and the mayor placed the green dye in the canal, 
and before you knew it, the fountain was glowing green!


 The pipers retreated back to the Historic Society, and we did an Irish jig over to Claddaugh for some fish and chips and Irish breakfast (dinner)!



Next, we headed to Ashley's house for some Darby O'Gill!




The next day we got up and headed to the circle for the annual Shamrock Walk!

 


This year we decided to jump in on a pub crawl!
We first hit up Buffalo Wild Wings, then Tin Roof and finally Slippery Noodle.


Many green beers were consumed, and general fun was had all around!
The luck of the Irish was definitely on our side!
