The actress, model, singer, entrepreneur and TV star became a household name through MTV\u2019s hit show \u2018Singled Out\u2019 while her role as Lani McKenzie on \u2018Baywatch\u2019 established her as one of the most recognisable pop culture figures of her era.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe World\u2019s Shortest St. Patrick\u2019s Day Parade has brought worldwide attention to Hot Springs and helped expand the city\u2019s reputation as a city that knows how to have fun,\u201d Irish Central reports.<\/p>\n
Arrison and some friends had been in an establishment adjacent to the 98-foot Bridge Street in 2003 when they came up with the idea.<\/p>\n
Bridge Street had already gained fame having been named by Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not as the world\u2019s shortest street in everyday use.<\/p>\n
The parade swiftly gained attention around the globe and now more than 30,000 people are expected to gather in downtown Hot Springs for the 2026 event.<\/p>\n
It annually features a line-up of \u201coutrageous wackiness\u201d that includes a troupe of marching Irish Elvis Impersonators, the World\u2019s Largest Leprechaun, \u201czany floats\u201d, and marching units.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ELECTRIC AVENUE\u00a0|\u00a0 Bridge Street had already gained fame having been named by Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-150718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
