The St. Patricks Day Parade

Markley Motors entered a float in the Fort Collins, St. Patrick's Day Parade.

Sales Manager, Chris Payne organized a great display for the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Fort Collins this Saturday.  Thanks to Gary Dunning who brought his team of horses and his wagon for the float.  We also dressed up a 2010 GMC Sierra with shamrock stickers and lights.

A big thanks goes out to all of the employees and their friends and family members who showed up to decorate the wagon.  We all had fun throwing out the 500 frisbees and eight large bags of tootsie rolls to the kids watching the parade.

Enjoy the photos:

THANKS!  WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME!
