Hello,

My name is David Parry; I run an expat Welsh group called 'The Chicago Tafia'.

On March 1st we held our annual St. David's Day party at the Elephant & Castle Pub in downtown Chicago.

Following the party we heading up to the ABC 7 TV studios on Chicago's State Street to sneak on to the 10pm news for the third year running (the video can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEOzrX2-bnM) before heading up to the Wrigley Building (one of cities landmark buildings) to take photos of the tower lit up Red, White & Green for St. David’s Day.

I have attached some pictures of the Wrigley building and the brave few who left the comfort of the pub to brave the subzero temperatures outside!!

Cheers

Dave Parry
