For 54 years, the Wellington Oakdale Old Glory Marching Society has been a community event in Chicago where families gathered together to march through the neighborhood on Memorial Day and Labor Day. This is a community parade with the motto, "Everybody marches, nobody watches." It has always been an inclusive, welcoming, and community-building event.

Every time that we have been at the parade, we also had a chance to hear from Illinois Attorney General, Lisa Madigan. Illinois Congressman, Mike Quigley, typically attends as well, as he did this year. 

Also a regular fixture at the parade were the Jessie White Tumblers. Jessie White has been the longtime Secretary of State in Illinois. Years ago, he developed a program to help at-risk kids with his tumbling program. This program has flourished over the years, and once the tumblers started performing at the end of the parade, I don't think they've missed a year. 

This year, the organizers of this event announced that it would be the last march. They wanted to go out on top. They certainly did. WOOGMS has been a local institution, and although our family wasn't always able to make it, we thoroughly loved this event. And we are sad to see it go. 

Thank you.

Thanks for watching. Leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!
