It sprinkled off and on but the Irish, Italian, Islenos Community Parade rolled in Chalmette on Sunday, with Sheriff James Pohlmann and wife, Monique, serving as King and Queen.

Thousands of pounds of produce was thrown from the more than 40 floats involved.

It was the 14th annual year for the parade. This year’s theme was Let’s Geaux.

A number of units from the Sheriff’s Office rode in the event, including the mobile command post which led the parade, McGruff the Crime Dog and a D.A.R.E. program car.
