St Patricks Day and the Testicle Festival

Ok, the festival was actually on the 15th, but close enough to celebrate St Patrick's Day.  The location is Virginia City, NV, famous because of the Cartwright's on Bonanza, at least for us older folks. 


Being St Patricks Day we had to dress up to match the event. Don't we look Irish?



A leprechaun at play!

So we headed on over to Virginia City, NV where they where having the Testicle Festival/St Patrick's Day Celebration.


They put on a nice parade with a number of classic cars.  This one reminds me of my Grandfathers Pickup.

I think it would be a lot of fun to belong to a Jeep Posse.
Barbara was thinking about joining the Irish until I told she would have to die her hair red.
Here is a service you don't see advertised often.
This banner really caught our attention.
We learned that these woman adopt wild donkeys and care for them.
After the parade I had to live up to my t-shirt.
Barbara was keeping up, it helped her choke down a couple of Rocky Mountain Oysters.  They weren't really very good.  I will take fresh Lamb Fries any time.
We mingled with the natives.
And admired the old buildings.
