Our Division was well represented in this year’s St. Patrick’ s Day Parade held on March 15.

We walked away with two impressive awards, The Sinon J. Robeson Award for the Best Marching Irish Men and the Best Commercial Float, which was created by the Division brothers, the Brother’s Riley and All-Pro Painters. Over 180 people and groups walked in this year’s parade including 16 other AOH Divisions (including Junior and LAOH).

The AOH 32 Division won Best Overall Marching Unit in the parade in both 2006 and 2007.
