The wind made it a little tough for Hanshew to control Matilda's Frisbee at times, but she said it was nice to have such a good day for the parade. "To me, St. Patrick's Day means spring," said Hanshew, who is preparing Matilda for her next parade and upcoming dog shows this spring. The pair also took part in last year's St. Patrick's Day and Decatur Celebration parades.

As in the past, the Run to Lock Stock kicked off the proceedings 15 minutes before the parade began with runners dashing from the start of the parade route to Lock, Stock and Barrel on Decatur's West End. Once the parade got under way, spectators were greeted by marchers ranging from bagpipers to soccer players and politicians. A member of the Knights of Columbus portrayed St. Patrick. There was plenty of candy to pick up from the street and green beads to be handed out.

With the April 5 election approaching, politicians in the parade included city council and school board candidates and their supporters. A group of Robertson Charter School students and faculty were the grand marshals.

Ingram said the parade capped a busy week for the school that included Illinois Standards Achievement Tests and a swimming program at the Decatur Family YMCA.

The school's boys basketball team also recently won a state championship. "The kids all had a ball this week," Ingram said. "It's wonderful to be in a school that's so alive."
