Fredericksburg St. Paddy’s Parade

**Mael Coluim** · 12th March 11, 07:06 PM

Our local brewery, The Blue & Grey has sponsored for nine years now a St. Patrick Day Parade. I contacted fellow XMarker, Mark Ellis to kilt up and we would check it out.

I’m wearing my St. Patrick tartan Newsome box pleat

Before the parade we checked out this Deloran which was manufactured in Ireland.

The license plate number is a reference to the 90s movie ‘Back to the Future’

The brewery is in an industrial park which had this train which gave folks a tour around it.

The Easter bunny brought up the rear

We fell in and paraded to the brewery’s pub for lunch and to enjoy the tasty brews!

Nice photos. Looks like a good time was had by all.

The only thing missing is M.o.R. and his Morgan.

Great pics of the parade..days was overcast w/ cold wind but the sun came out after lunch and the green crowd ate all the corned beef.

That’s a fine parade. Just a pity the sign saying that the Delorean was built in Northern Ireland has the flag of the Irish Republic on it, instead of the Red Hand flag.
Regards,
Mike

Very Wise - You cannot get enough Quality Control in this day and age.

Nice to see the Delorean, they were fine cars in their day - that my taxes paid for.

Thanks for posting, Ern.
