Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The fountains are all green in Hot Springs and today is the first ever 12th annual worlds shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade. All of 98 feet in length.  Nascar driver Mark Martin is the celebrity grand marshall and he brought one of his #1 Army cars. The Swon Brothers provide the post parade entertainment. This parade averages about 25,000 spectators per year. Some of the Dallas Cheerleaders attend and the Jockeys have a float in this “small” parade. The weather will be perfect today with a high of 75 degrees.

Spring has sprung as all the tree’s have blossomed over the weekend. These trees were winter bare Friday morning. So all the excess rain and snow has paid off as we enjoy these fruits of mother nature.
