Irish Capital Of Nebraska Hosts 49th St. Patrick's Celebration

Despite freezing temperatures and snow flurries, a large crowd gathered for the 2016 St. Patrick's celebration in O'Neill on Saturday. 

Omaha Pipes and Drums performed on the world's largest shamrock just before noon.  This band has competed in numerous international games and has been providing free bagpipe and drumming lessons since 1970.

Following the Omaha Pipe and Drums, several Irish dancers of all ages and skill levels performed on the shamrock as well.
