News out of Padua regarding Saint Patrick's Day weekend activities (Parade cancelled)

Attached video here features the St. Patrick's Day parade in Padua in 2022

The St. Patrick's Day parade in Padua for Sunday, March 15 has been cancelled due to the weather and the tough road conditions. The Padua Pub is still open for those who are able to travel, but of course, your own discretion is advised. Tread lightly out there! Also, the Pub's traditional St. Patrick's Day Irish buffet will not be held on Sunday; instead, they will serve this on St. Patrick's Day, Tuesday, March 17 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Pub. Please spread the word.

For a fun throwback to six years ago, click over to the newspaper's SmugMug photo gallery to see pictures from the St. Patrick's Day parade in Padua on March 17, 2020. The parade took place just hours before massive, statewide school and business closures were pushed by Minnesota's state government on the populace in the beginning phase of the COVID pandemic.
