GLENSIDE, PA —The weather was chilly, but the sun was bright as the procession lined up Saturday afternoon for the first St. Patricks's Day parade.

Following the recent SPS Technologies fire, Saturday was a day to celebrate everything Irish, but also to honor the brave men and women who battled the blaze for days on end.

Fire companies were well represented at the parade in Keswick Village, along with numerous bands and other groups marching to celebrate community spirit and the upcoming holiday next Monday.
