Getting your player ready...
Denver didn’t let a little drizzle dampen the party when the 55th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade filled the streets Saturday — and revelers even overflowed from bar patios along the route.
The parade included bagpipers, drummers, Irish dancers, horses, extensive floats, bands and a surprising number of Star Wars stormtroopers. Several local politicians made an appearance, and there was even a proposal.
Nothing like a St. Patrick's Day Parade proposal
