This year, it seemed as if the politicians were interspersed among the various school groups and Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops. I don't know if that was to minimize inter-school competitiveness or political rivalries....
For example, a car carrying signs for Republican State Rep. Michael McAuliffe and County Commissioner Peter Silvestri was followed by a group of marchers from Garvey School....
A unit for 41st Ward Alderman Anthony Napolitano came next...
...followed by Cub Pack 3926 from Immaculate Conception School...
... and then by a group for 41st Ward Democratic Committeeman Tim Heneghan...
...a group joined by Merry Marwig, challenging Michael McAuliffe's reelection bid in the 20th legislative district.
And there were plenty of other groups participating in today's Norwood Park Parade....

| Leading a group for Lutheran Unity School.... |

| The Norwood Park Historical Society participated. |
The Taft High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps had a large contingent in today's parade.
The Immaculate Conception School Girl Scouts had a sizeable contingent.

| This 1930 Model A may have been the oldest vehicle in the pararade. |

| Cub Scout group from St. Juliana's |
 |
| Cub Scout group from Norwood Park Lutheran Church |
 |
| The group from St. Thecla's had a classic car leading their way |
Here's the Cub Scout Pack from St. Monica's.
The parade ended today, as it has in past years, with a parade of classic cars. I have mixed feelings seeing a Mustang that I remember from my youth being included in the parade of antiques....

| Not your father's Oldsmobile. Maybe your grandfather's.... |
