Il-Naperville/60563-St. Patricks Day Parade- Sat 3/16/13
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
Even snow and high winds could not break our spirit.
Even our Kilt wearing TK couldn't be phased (you rock Doughboy!)
We had a strong showing from our Rebel friends
.
With a well decorated car,
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.
Troops and their kids packed into cars
and we all gathered for fun a friendship afterward...and maybe a cold one.
A great time was had by all. Thanks to our troops who came up from downstate and down from upstate as well as our Rebel Friends
I need to add a name to the attending trooper list.....Jim Lawyer cam out of retirement to join us!!!

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!!!
