Green, leprechauns and Nugget the Moose poured down Soldotna streets on Sunday for the 34th annual Sweeney’s St. Patrick Day Parade hosted by the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce. Under cloudy skies — but fortunately no precipitation — a procession of viridescent celebrants representing businesses and organizations brought festivities to an array of attendees lining Redoubt Avenue.
