5th District Marches in the 2007 Winter Carnival

The 5^th District was well represented in the 2007 St. Paul Winter Carnival –The Coolest Celebration on Earth.  The weather was cold, the camaraderie was great.  Many of our posts were well represented as we gathered at the staging area in downtown St. Paul.
