The Allen Lund Company Takes Big Al to the St. Patrick's Day Parade
LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA – This Thursday, March 17th, the Allen Lund Company will join National Watermelon Queen Carla Penney in Savannah, Georgia’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
"2016 marks our 5th year participating in this fantastic Savannah event," stated Nora Trueblood, Director of Marketing and Communications for the Allen Lund Company, in the press release.
Over 300,000 attendees are expected this year, and the event will feature Allen Lund’s mascot, Big Al. Now ranked as the third largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the world, the event has been a part of Savannah’s history for the past 192 years.
The holiday isn’t all the company is celebrating. As we reported previously in our interview with Kenny Lund, the company is also in midst of its milestone 40th year serving the produce industry.
"Our show truck, Big Al has been re-wrapped to signify our 40 years in business and we are thrilled that the National Watermelon Queen, Carla Penney, can join us in celebrating St. Patrick's Day,” Trueblood added.
Rain or shine, the day’s events will surely draw a crowd, with plenty of green to go around!
