SPRING GROVE, Illinois PARADE
We had our US Representative Melissa Bean and Illinois Representative Jack Franks in floats as well. The parade announcer had a great sense of humor, and pointed out that the state police were behind them, something that Illinois politicians have to worry about these days. Bean gave a very short speech, something the mc also remarked on.
There must have been 50 antique tractors, alluding to Spring Grove's agricultural past. We even still have fields amongst the sprouting subdivisions. The local high school's (Richmond-Burton) marching band performed, and I also greatly enjoyed the two old military vehicles local business Scot Forge provided. The parade kicked off with three antique fire trucks.
Afterwards, we had the good old American stand-bys of corn on the cob, French fries, and Pepsi at the fairgrounds.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
