Greening of the Fountain

Fountain Hills marks St. Patrick's Day

A crowd gathered at Fountain Park to watch the Fountain turn green at 12 noon Monday to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. The Greening of the Fountain has a long tradition in Fountain Hills going back before incorporation as a town. In days of old “Nessie,” the green Fountain monster, was often seen around the park and swimming in the lake on St. Patrick’s Day. Nessie tracks were seen this weekend crossing Saguaro Boulevard and heading up the Avenue of the Fountains. Nessie was not spotted, however.
