      Fun fact the green dye is used to scare away the fairies and leprechauns from stealing away little children.
      The green in the water tricks them into thinking it's grass and they all drown.

Or better yet, create a DVD on how you do it, maybe even with different cameras , like GoPros and other 4K cameras like the SONY FDR AX100 etc. I'll bet you could sell a bunch of them :-)

    • @chrisbiela
      @chrisbiela  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You have to search a little deeper. This year would be 58th time. The tradition of dyeing the river green arose by accident when plumbers used fluorescein dye to trace sources of illegal pollution discharges. Like a lot of things discivered by accident this was used to celebrate St. Patrick's day due to color and interesting ceremony. 6 decades and this tradition is one of the biggest events in Chicago.

      You know, a lot of people ask if this harms the environment in anyway. It doesn't. They use a special kind of dye that is bio-degradable. Usually the dye dissipates after 24-48 hours after being cast. It does NOT hurt the Eco-system and the life that resides in that river.
