IUEC Local 17 at the 2024 Cleveland St. Patrick’s Day Parade

March 17 was a day of mixed weather. Alternately clear and cold followed by snowflakes so large and thick they obscured the Cleveland skyline. The parade stepped off on time at 2 pm from East 18th and Superior and continued on to Pubic Square under full sun and rising temperatures.

For all the challenges, IUEC Local 17 came through the day in the best of spirits and character. Following are a sampling of photos to tell the story in the faces of those who braved the cold, snow and shone in the sun.

This is Cleveland. This is IUEC Local 17.
