A fifth band was right behind.
The Evanston Township High School Wildkit Marching Band.
It was the Evanston High School Marching Wildkits.
Husbanding my battery power, I waited for the next band.
The announcer said that the West Aurora High School Marching Band has 269 members.
It was the West Aurora High School Marching Band.
The Wheeling High School Wildcats Marching Band.
The Wheeling High School Band was awhile behind.
Besides wearing tee shirts for their candidate Demetri Tsilimigras supporters carried yard signs.
Next came Chris Yaeger, the current Algonquin Township Republican Party Chairman promoting the judicial candidacy of Assistant State’s Attorney Demetri Tsilimigras.
Demetri Tsilimigras waves to the crowd. When the announced read about his entry, his hard-to-pronounce last name was not mentioned.
There’s more than a little irony–or maybe it’s just the two major factions of the Republican Party lining up against each other again–that the past Township Chairwoman is from Demetri’s opponent, James Cowlin.
Union resident Pam Palmer waved to her almost hometown crowd.
McHenry County Auditor Pam Palmer also rode in a convertible.
McHenry County Recorder of Deeds candidate Joni Smith’s entry could not be missed.
As in the Johnsburg parade, McHenry County Recorder of Deeds candidate Joni Smith again had the most impressive political entry.
Walking behind a “Welcome Home” banner was Staff Sergeant T.J. Wadington.
A returning soldier was honor with one entry. As the announced noted, it was too late for it to be a surprise.

More tomorrow, including the BIG BANG.
Laughing my Ars off!!!
All I can say is “The Bigger the Sign, the Lower the Substance”
Get a load of the signs on that one woman.
Does she think she’s running for Queen?
If that’s how she spends her campaign funds, just imagine how she’ll spend the tax payers’ money!
Union goons marching for her?
There goes more of our money!
Demetri looks like he’s a teenager when he’s in a tee-shirt. Some people came a very long way to be in this parade.
