Red White and Blue Me!

     
The annual hog days parade is one of the lynchpins of our end of summer celebration.  Visitors come from miles around to watch this two hour event that winds through a route a mile long and viewed by thousands.  Expertly organized by the Kewanee Chamber of Commerce, prizes are awarded to the best entries in several categories.  Click below left to look at our scrapbook of 2009.   We love a parade filled with music and the most recent one saw a dozen bands march proudly, including the Western Illinois University Marching Leathernecks.  Click below right to check that out.  The Hog Days Parade.  Where we do Red White and Blue!
