This will be the 60 year anniversary of the dyeing of the Chicago River emerald green.

The tradition was started by Stephen Bailey, the Business Manager of the Chicago Journeymen’s Plumbers Union.

In 1966 the recipe was changed to an orange powdered vegetable base dye. The recipe is extremely confidential and remains a closely guarded secret.

The photo is of Stephen Bailey and Mayor Richard B. Daley. They were childhood friends.
