Annual parade winds through downtown as residents pack the streets
The lawn chairs were lined up well before the planned 1:00 start to the annual Keepataw Days parade. The shady side of the street filled in first, with the overflow crowd on the sunny side. Many people were prepared with umbreallas, not for the rain this time, but for the sun. The parade was about ready to begin! Children scurried up and down the street, enjoying the few moments while the streets were closed before the parade started. As the sirens grew louder, everyone scrambled to their seats and grabbed their bags - soon to be filled with candy - the parade was beginning! Enjoy these photos from the day, and be sure to add your own!

The Lemont-based Hope and Friendship Foundation is seeking volunteers and donations for several upcoming events and charity drives. Hope and Friendship founder Terri O'Neill-Borders sent the following message Monday night: "As we turn the corner and begin to enter another fall and school year, I ask that you remember those within our community who are unable to afford the necessities that absorb a good portion of your household income: school supplies, school shoes/clothes, home needs and within a few months winter clothing, Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas gifts and more.
