Saturday was St Patricks Day, and one of the biggest days celebrated in Erie.

Ryan shovelling the snow from our driveway - this is from 1 days snow
We had a massive snow dump Thursday and Friday - we found a new way to keep our drinks cool!

Everyone decorates their house for every 'event' - this house had a blow up leprechaun!We drove our car downtown & left it there to be buried in snow, while we headed up to Sullivans Irish Pub. We got there about 10am - it was absolutely packed! We started off wearing no green at all - lets face it - who owns any green stuff? As we pub crawled down town Erie, not only did we drink, but we collected more and more green attire until we were both covered in it by the afternoon! We had never seen so much green before and everyone was wearing it - whether it was a big green hat or funky green glasses. Beads are all the rage over here - any type of function you go to, venues hand out beads, & people go crazy for them.

Dressed in green
One place even made you flash for beads! By then ,we had so much green stuff we didn't have to resort to that (we had scored a shirt each, beads, a green hat and a green garter - all free!).
There was a town parade - and everyone in the parade threw lollies. It was hilarious and we filled up a hat full of lollies.

That's only half the lollies we collected!
After the parade we grabbed some lunch and kept on the Beno and Wardy Pub Crawl.
By 7pm, it was time to head home - we managed to flag a taxi (one of only 24 in Erie). After about 10 hours drinking, it was bed time, but not before Kristy stacked it in the snow!
