Gavin and Dave stopped by from the Galena Elks to say "top of the mornin' to ya!"  Of course, their visit was really to promote the events coming up this Saturday (3/12) in Galena.

First off, the Galena Elks sounds like a pretty cool club.  Fundraising for various organizations is their game and they're doing it up this Saturday with a special 'Shamrock Shimmy 5k,' then the St. Patrick's parade later in the afternoon.

The proceeds from the events this weekend will benefit the Galena ARC, a group that provides a number of community programs in Galena.

The Shamrock Shimmy 5k will start in the morning (and is a nice FLAT course) that will challenge you while you have some fun.  There will also be a mini-shimmy for the kids.  If you want more details, you can visit the GALENA ELKS FACEBOOK PAGE.

At 5pm they will have the parade.  There are already 40 floats entered and it continues to grow.  If you'd like to get a float in, you can call Dave at 815.777.2248 or visit THE GALENA ARC WEBSITE.

The parade will feature prizes for best float, best dressed, best theme and others!

It's going to be a great day in Galena, so don't miss the fun this weekend!

Éirinn go Brách!
