Better Late Than Never: Conshy’s Parade Marches On

Bad weather knocked them down but not out. The Conshohocken St. Patrick’s Day Parade marched down Fayette Street on Saturday, a little late, but not less fun for the hundreds who lined the street bundled against the cold. (March refused to go out like a lamb this year.)

For Grand Marshal Micky McBride, a fine son of Donegal, this was his second parade. After the Conshochocken parade was postponed because of heavy rain, Philadelphia’s Grand Marshal Kathy McGee Burns, who also traces her roots to Donegal, invited McBride to march with her on March 15. And he did.

Photographer Gwyneth MacArthur was at the parade and captured the flavor–and, as you’ll see, a little of the cold–in her photos below.
