This is a repost of a previous St. Patrick’s Day post but with some new photos and updates included from various sources. However, I plan to post some photos (that I will take of this year’s (2024) Chicago River with its green hue) this Wednesday for “Wordless Wednesday.” Thank you!

Well, now, look what we have here!

On March 16, 2024, the Chicago Plumbers Union Local 130 again had the honor of bestowing the Chicago River with its neon green color since 1962. A vegetable dye is used to create this incredible sight:

Here’s another look at this amazing St. Patrick’s Day treat:

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, one and all! I hope you have a delightful, four-leaf clover kind of day!

        I saw Jay Leno once getting into a cab, but being the polite Canadian I didn’t say anything! LOL I know there are a lot of movie/tv people here, though. If you were here we could go knocking on some doors, Maman Williams since your son is a tv personality! Cher xoxoxo

    I remember when I lived in Chicago – the river got so polluted it didn’t dye properly – it was really the plumbers who saved the river – they deserve all the accolades!

      I am so glad to hear that, JT! I know the plumbers are very dedicated to this annual event, but I hadn’t heard about the pollution causing the dye not to work properly! Here’s to the plumbers! Thank you for letting me know! Cher xoxoxo
