In celebration of Saint Patrick's Day, the Chicago River has been turned green for about a day for the past 40 years.On February 14, forty (40) pounds of vegetable-based, non-toxic dye was poured into the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, turning the water green. The green color would typically last for about a day, depending on the flow conditions. By the way, the exact dye ingredients remain a secret.
I think it is a lot of fun, and it is great that residents are enjoying their river!
