The parade begins at 9:30 a.m. at Cossitt Avenue and La Grange Road.
This year’s grand marshal will be former Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White, so honored because of his mentoring of almost 20,000 youths through the Jesse White Tumblers, a program in its 64th year of providing opportunities for low-income youth all over the Chicago area. The parade begins Saturday, June 3 at 9:30 a.m., and if previous years are any indication, will draw as many 40,000 people.
Add to that list of celebrities Coach Ron Nickevich and the 1993 LTHS basketball team, White Sox pitcher Bobby Jenks, and actors Susan Dey and Lee Majors. The Budweiser Clydesdales have even been known to make an appearance.
