Il-Naperville/60560 St. Patrick's Day Parade-Sat.3-17-2012

This was a day that the Garrison can be proud of. (Although we are proud after every troop!!!!) With only 4 days to plan, a dozen fine soldiers made sacrifices and arrangements so that a true impact was made to the City of Naperville. We even had a support staff of junior troops to help out.(Thanks to Neil and Aimee for having the kids help out!) In a parade that brought a estimated record attendance of over 15-20,000 people, our troopers were a hit that brought kids and adults running into the street for photo ops and high fives by the dozens. Thanks to Cheryl who provided us with a vehicle and booming Music to march by! I am sure we will be high on their list for next year!

T.O.D. attendees: Mark Berry 4265 (Boba Fett)
Kevin Skiera TK 9336
Neil Auer TK 3446
Cheryl Whitaker TB 3127
Aimee Jorgensen TB 010

It was a GREAT parade, and I loved it a lot, glad it was about 50 degrees warmer this year sporting the kilt again...this time it was a *smart* idea!

Can't wait for a repeat next year, and man this picture makes look shorter than the usual...LOL!
Many bothans died to bring you this post...the tearing of ligaments and almost the loss of a TK's finger...
