The Padua Pub in Padua hosted its 45th annual St. Patrick’s Day parade, Sunday afternoon along main street in Padua.  The Dave and Clara Rooney family (pictured above) has hosted the parade each year and they thank the community for its support in making the parade a big success each year.  Above, the participants of the St. Pat’s parade (most of them Rooney family members) are pictured just prior to starting the parade.  At right, parade watchers had a chance to get some free items during the parade, including a lot of candy for the kids.  More pictures from the celebration will be highlighted next week.
