March with the Elgin Township Democrats
Jul 4 @ 8:00 am – 10:00 am

Join the Elgin Township Democrats in this year’s Fourth of July Parade.

The parade kicks off at 9am, but try to arrive around 8am so we can coordinate any tasks placement, handing out of candy, etc.

We do not yet know our placement in the parade, so check with the entry point volunteers to get a general idea of where we will be. We will have Jack the Donkey, so we should be easy to find in the line-up.

We are looking for volunteers to help with building this year’s float. If interested contact Carl Strathmann at 630.890.3460.

The Strathmann’s are planning a party after the parade at their place.

On Saturday, July 22nd at 11:00 a.m., Founders’ Days are hosting their 59th annual parade as part of the Founders’ Days celebration.
