Portal AZ's annual St. Patrick's Day parade took place today and the turnout included not only local residents from Portal, Rodeo, and around the San Simon Valley but campers from the campgrounds in Cave Creek Canyon also attended. The Grand Marshal this year was Rick Beno from Arizona Sky Village and of course St. Patrick (who winters in Portal) was here. And what would St. Patrick's Day be without some daytime astronomy. A solar telescope was set up next to the Post Office to view the sun.

This sure was a nice parade this year, the weather was nice as tomorrow they say 60% chance of rain.
