A different Saint Patrick led the earlier contingent from Cardinal O’Hara.Springfield Road and Saxer Avenue were closed in the township for about two hours starting shortly before noon. Check out the fellow in the hat to the left of the county Sheriff’s vehicle.The Springfield Fire Co. front pieceThis Springfield fire truck has been a parade staple for more than 60 years.A Red Arrow bus turns onto Saxer Avenue from Springfield Road to finish the parade.

I happened to be in that area simply trying to get to an appointment. What a mess! It was bad enough having to be redirected around this cluster**** going to the appointment but afterwards it was even worse. No semplance of order except simply throw up some barricades, block a major artery between Haverford and Springfield with trash trucks and hope for the best!!! It was awful.
