The Padua Pub and the community of Padua hosted the 45th annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration, Saturday and Sunday, which included a parade down the main street of Padua, Sunday.  Hosting the parade were members of the Dave and Clara Rooney family.  Prizes were awarded to the parade winners and judging was done by everyone in attendance.  Throughout the weekend, green beer was flowing and there were plenty of Irish stew meals and corned beef sandwiches served.  There were also two Shamrock scavenger hunts, music both days and plenty of other food, drinks, fun and camaraderie.  All in all though, it was a great day to celebrate, especially if you were Irish.
