Lifting Up Livingston Brings Another St. Patty’s Parade to Geneseo

GENESEO – A home-grown cancer charity put on the Village’s second St. Patrick’s Day parade on Saturday.

The cold and snow didn’t dampen spirits at all as marchers flung candy, Irish music charmed and mascots met new friends.

The parade is intended to move from town to town in Livingston County. The first parade was in Avon.
