St. Pat's Day parades to step off in Ohio
March 17, 2010 19:13 EDT
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Ohio's oldest and largest St. Patrick's Day parade was even larger this year.
Cleveland's parade dates back to 1867. This year, it featured 13,000 marchers in 213 units, the most ever recorded.
Eighty-four-year-old Irish immigrant John Hayes served as grand marshall, blowing a golden whistle under sunny skies to start the Wednesday festivities. Among marchers was a group from St. Patrick Church West Park, which is closing in May as the Cleveland Catholic Diocese downsizes.
Columbus' parade also was the largest ever, with 121 groups including Irish wolfhounds, pipe and drum bands, step dancers and horses in neon green leg warmers.
