Lombard's Lilac Parade gets nostalgic
Lombard’s Lilac Parade on Sunday took spectators on a trip through the past. The theme of the 59th annual Lilac Parade was “Nostalgia from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s.” Many of the organizations marching in the parade reflected that theme. The local VFW Post, for example, carried signs that listed “Movies Of Our Time” (“Apocalypse Now”) and “Songs of Our Time” (“Age of Aquarius”).

- The Choral-aires Chorus placed second in the Community Teams category raising funds for breast cancer research last month, missing first place by only $25.

The Choral-Aires has five current chorus members that either have, or have had, breast cancer. And this year, 2 of the team members discovered that their mothers have breast cancer, so they were walking on race day for their moms.
