For the last five years we have celebrated St. Patrick's Day by going to Five Points in Columbia and participating in the fun run/walk. Until this year we had great weather and all the Mason family joined us. This year the weather was not so good and a little sickness and visitors prevented the entire Mason family from attending. But, Maeve and Kendall braved the elements with Grandma Rose and Grandpa Bob.

| Getting ready for the day |
 |
| It's poncho weather but at least it's green! |

| Here we go |
 |
| Keeping the statues dry |
 |
| Ben Tanner, a weatherman on WIS TV, started the race |
 |
| Stretching and warming up |
 |
| We're off |
 |
| We're done...as the rain falls harder |
 |
| We opened Delaney's Pub after the race |
 |
| Our little leprechaun for the day |
 |
| Another nice year |
 |
| If you look closely by Kendall's hand you'll see a little leprechaun that so many people miss at the fountain in Five Points |
 We did not stay for the parade for the first time since the rain was really starting. But, we were able to purchase some primitive art made by a local celebrity known as the "Chicken Man" whose name is really Ernest Lee. He paints gamecocks and palm trees primarily but does other things as well all on plywood. |
