As I was leaving the grounds after eating a brat, I saw this poodle on the back of a motorcycle. How could I resist taking a photo of it. The owner was wearing an Anchor Towing tee shirt.
I attend McHenry County parades because politicians use them to try to gain name identification and support.
Members of the Johnsburg VFW Post 11496 were in the parade.
Sunday I was at Johnsburg’s Saufen und Spiel Parade.
There were plenty of fire trucks in the Johnsburg Parade.
The parade route was a long one.
A vehicle from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department was in the parade.
It went from the Village Hall down the main road and disbursed near the St. John’s Church.
Ron Hiller was the Parade Marshall, but his name was not on the side of the car. Wife Sandy joined him.
I didn’t even have a problem finding shade.
Johnsburg Police Chief Keith Van Allmen was next.
I wasn’t quite ready when the flags went by.
Tony Huemann, McHenry Township Fire Department Chief.
Next came the Veterans, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles.
Johnsburg Village President Ed Hettermann
Both Johnsburg’s Police Chief Keith Van Allmen and McHenry Township Fire Protection District Chief Tony Huemann worked for Lakewood before moving on to better posts.
Johnsburg Trustee Mary Lou Hutchinson
Elected village officials came next.
Johnsburg Trustee Kervin McEvoy
Each was in a Ford Thunderbird.
Johnsburg Trustee John Heumann manage to wave both times I took his photo.
That was so much better than their all riding in the back of a big dump truck as the village officials did one year.
Johnsburg Trustee Greg Klemstein
The Village officials were waving.
Johnsburg Trustee Rick Quinn
Candy was being thrown.
Johnsburg Trustee Kyle Frost
Pretty much everyone was wearing sunglasses.
Johnsburg Village Administrator Claudette Peters
After the elected Village officials came some of the appointed ones.
Thunderbirds carrying the Johnsburg Village Officials from the rear.

How nice to see a vehicle from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department in a parade without that goof Zinke inside of it, giving you the finger!
LOL Good riddance to that nonsense.
Good coverage of the parade, Cal.
The Ford Thunderbirds were courtesy of the Classic Thunderbird Club of Chicagoland.
