It's a bird!  It's a plane!  It's a...leprechaun?

"It's exhilarating, it really is.  It's kind of cold, but a lot of fun," said skydiver Robby Root.

 Root is just one of four leprechauns who skydived out of a plane in front of Kelly's Irish Pub and Eatery in Davenport.

It was an exciting event part of Kelly's 3-day-long St. Patty's Day Festival.

Folks witnessing the dive were impressed.

"Everybody had a good time, and the guys flew in, everybody was safe," said one spectator.

Kelly's St. Patrick's Day celebrations continue on into tomorrow.  About 20 thousand total are expected to attend.
