St. Paddy's Day Fun

We had the opportunity to be in Fountain Hills on St. Patrick's Day and see the famous fountain spew green. It was a geocaching event and a reason to head north, see friends and collect a few geocaches.

The fountain erupts every hour from 9 am to 9 pm and spews for 15 minutes. This was the beginning of the noon eruption on March 17th.

slowly the eruption turned green

there it is!

the water reaches 330'

it was a windy day

Hundreds of people gathered at the park to watch the green display. Glad we were a part of it.
