It was the first St. Patrick's Day parade that many in Dysart had ever attended. It was also the shortest parade any had attended.

Just a block long, Dysart was full of smiles promptly at 12:15 p.m. The Mayor, Tim Glenn said that he had always wanted to have a St. Patrick's Day parade, and he finally can say that Dysart pulled it off.

Going for the "shortest parade in Iowa" status, I'm pretty sure they qualified. Containing the parade on "O'Main and McWilson" streets the parade ended on the Dysart Gorge art display on Main.

Several area residents participated by walking in the parade pulling out the green in their wardrobes. The town played Irish music over the loudspeakers downtown setting the mood for the parade.

Rain didn't dampen the ol' Irish spirit. Kids were able to get their faces painted, and there were green refreshments for both adults and children.
