There were no French or Francophile units in the Parade, but other nations were well represented. Our Fourth of July Parade is beginning to rival the diversity of Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day Parades. There were 101 groups in the Parade, with most of them representing Glenview neighborhoods, schools, churches, businesses and civic organizations.
In addition, the Bolivian Dance Troop, the Polonia Ensemble, the Dunkin Donuts Asian groups, Denny Hebson’s Irish Bagpipers from Hackney’s, and the Ismaili Youth Group gave the Parade a cosmopolitan flavor, to add to the Jesse White Tumblers, the South Shore Drill Team, and several other African-American Bands and Drill Teams visiting from Chicago.
Glenview is changing, and so is the rest of the world.
