St. Patrick's Day is always one of the greatest days in downtown Cedar Rapids every year, no matter the weather. Today, the weather cooperated and the turnout for the 41st Annual SaPaDaPaSo Parade was again INCREDIBLE.

It's spring break for many school districts around Eastern Iowa and the crowd today showed it. Not in the numbers which are always huge, but in the number of kids. I bet kids outnumbered adults two to one along the parade route on a sunny, breezy St. Patrick's Day afternoon.

I got the chance to be behind the wheel of the KDAT cruiser once again. You may have seen me waving at you, or possibly my kids riding shotgun. We were just behind our sister stations KHAK and KRNA, with Sparkles running a second lap just behind us.  Check out our photos. You may even see yourself.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. Please celebrate safely!
