Kiss me, I'm a photographer!


Whenever Naperville has a parade, it always begins about a block from my shop so it'd be silly for me to miss it, right?

This time last year we still had a couple feet of white stuff left over from the 2011 "Snowmageddon" and I don't remember a parade coming through. The 2012 St. Patrick's Day Parade happened last Saturday on a gorgeous, sunny and unseasonably warm morning that could've been mistaken for June. Bizarre, but I'll take it....

Here are a few pics I took of the festivities -

St. Patrick and Mayor George Pradel

2012 Parade Queen, Maureen Elizabeth Levy and Court


McNulty Irish Dancers

Dublin Fire Brigade


Babies don't need cheezy "kiss me, I'm Irish" paraphernalia...

Naperville Chorus

What St. Paddy's day parade would be complete without an Irish Wolfhound? Or three...

Or 4?



Lots of dogs in the parade this year...
Knights of Columbus

Another K of C. Didn't catch his name but he must be the Grand Poobah because he rated riding in the convertible instead of walking.

Piper from the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums, of Warrenville.

Medinah Highlanders

This singer from the disco-themed Boys and Girls Clubs float was killin' "I Will Survive"!
"Sure and beggorah! Those WERE the droids we were looking for..."
