Fourth of July was a day of celebration in the western suburbs as hundreds of people lined the streets for an Independence Day parade. “I’m very proud of the bands that are going to be here, and I’m looking forward to seeing what floats and other things that are here,” said Downers Grove resident Linda Hicks. The parade, which started…
“I like candy and fireworks,” said Greyson Wagner.
The parade went on from Downers Grove to Aurora to Oak Park. Many communities implemented new security measures following last year's tragedy in which a gunman killed seven people at Highland Park's Fourth of July parade. “I’m sure the police are careful,” said Hicks. “They got a lot of things blocked off, and I’m quite sure they’re trying to take care of the public the best way they can.”“We’re very fortunate it’s not raining,” laughed Downers Grove resident Anna Marie Kamman.“They were putting down their tarps, their chairs, and marking their spot,” said Downers Grove resident Craig Kamman.
The Kammans sat in the shade this year, feeling so thankful they’re able to celebrate and spend time together as a community. “It’s just the closeness, the bonding,” Anna Marie Kamman said. “Our town is a close knit group and everyone knows each other and everyone is really friendly. It's nice to see the kids.”
