Cloudy and cool--and until the end, the rain basically held off. Not bad weather for an October parade.
Hundreds of boys and girls in costume lined the parade route---along with moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, aunts and uncles.
Thanks once again to the parade's sponsor, U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd).
At the end of the parade, in Wentworth Park, the congressman and others hosted a celebration that included free treats, entertainment and more.
A tip of our cap, as well, to those police officers who, seeing candy that was thrown from parade units but which landed
too close to the parade to be picked up safely by kids at the curbs--picked up the candy themselves and handed it to boys and girls at the curbs.
Here are a few photos of the parade units, as well as the real stars of the show: the children themselves! (Along with moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, and even a couple of dogs and mascots.)
(Editor's note: parade video added below.)
