What do you get when you mix 40 enthusiastic Junior League women and a St. Patrick's Day Parade? A fun morning filled with a float, candy, flyers and advertisements for the newest fundraising project for the Junior League, Touch a Truck!

Junior League of Columbia celebrated everyone's favorite green holiday by participating in the St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday, March 16th. Active and provisional members of JLC walked in the parade for the second straight year to promote Touch A Truck. Provisionals, as one of their projects, decorated and coordinated the parade participation.

To our surprise, the large enthusiastic crowd started shouting "Touch A Truck" and "Junior League" as we walked by. The League members waved and had a great interaction with the crowd encouraging them to attend the event.

This fun event allowed JLC to team up with other groups in the community, including Family Connections, to support each group's cause and of course, St. Patrick's Day. Don't forget to purchase your tickets for Touch a Truck, which will be held on April 13, 2013 at the State Farmers Market in West Columbia. We hope to see you there!
