Thousands of people of Arkansas City for the shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade in the world

Hot Fringen, Ark. (AP) – Thousands of spectators have the streets of a city in Arkansas, which has been known for more than two decades for an unusual reason. The Resort Town of Hot Springs organized the shortest parade to St. Patrick's Day in the world with 40 flows on a 98-foot route in the city center.

The participants include a group of marching Elvis imitators and the cheerleaders of the Dallas Cowboys.
