This was the 11th annual St. Patrick's Day parade in White Plains. The city police department, council members, government officials, firemen and students participated. Falun Gong practitioners performed "dragon and lion dances," and waist drums. They carried banners that read "Falun Dafa" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," which brought smiles and cheers from the crowds.
Mr. Joseph Delfino, the mayor of White Plains, welcomed each group. John Martin, the organiser of the parade, said he was delighted to have a group representing Chinese culture in the parade.
