Il-Naperville/60563-St. Patricks Day Parade- Sat 3/16/13

Post by gazmosis »

Another successful appearance by the Mighty Midwest Garrison at this years Naperville St. Patricks Day Parade. Although frigid temps forced troopers to warm themselves by any means necessary

Image
Even snow and high winds could not break our spirit.
Image
Image
Even our Kilt wearing TK couldn't be phased (you rock Doughboy!)
Image
We had a strong showing from our Rebel friends
Image.
With a well decorated car,
Image
music, a three flag colorguard, and an impressive array of characters, the Midwest Garrison did not disappoint the thousands who came to see the parade despite the cold.
Image
Image
Troops and their kids packed into cars
Image
and we all gathered for fun a friendship afterward...and maybe a cold one.

I just uploaded mine into the MWG Photobucket album. I do also have full resolution files as well; if you'd like them, please just send me your e-mail address for the download link to DropBox. All the high-rez have been uploaded there. It was a wee bit cold, but another awesome parade with TONS of kids all excited to see Star Wars characters! Wonderful time!!!
