Skokie Parade Gets Great Turnout, Perfect Weather

Check out these photos of the Skokie Fourth of July parade.


People turned out in numbers to watch Skokie's Fourth of July parade, and got rewarded with marching bands, floats, clowns, classic cars, motorcycles, politicians, local congregations and organizations and of course the Jesse White Tumblers.

Unlike last year's 102 degree heat, Thursday's parade took place in a just-about-perfect 81 degrees. 

And while July 4 is our nation's birthday, we also found a little girl who was having a birthday. She turned six. Happy Birthday, Breanna Rogers! Happy Birthday, America!

Take a look at the photos and check out the fun.
