LITTLE COMPTON, RI — What can you fit in an 89-foot parade route? A lot, apparently.

The "World’s Shortest St. Paddy’s Day Parade," which takes place annually in Little Compton's Adamsville village, fit former New England Patriot Troy Brown marching with a football, A Happy Madison production designer, bag pipes, miniature floats on remote control cars, Boston Celtic band Scottish Fish, and much more for the 2,500-plus people who came to celebrate on Sunday.

There was even a 90-foot dragon made out of balloons, that was longer than the parade route itself.
