ST. LOUIS - A little rain didn’t keep St. Louis from celebrating the Blues winning the Stanley Cup on Saturday.
A downpour in the morning turned into a light rain by the time the parade started at noon. When the sun finally came out, downtown had turned into a sea of blue with chants of “Let’s Go Blues” heard all around as fans celebrated St. Louis’ first Stanley Cup championship.
