New route, same fun at Mundelein parade
The reconstruction of Hawley Street through downtown Mundelein necessitated a new route for the town's annual Community Days parade, but the change didn't take away from the fun of the event.
People gathered along the new route Sunday to catch glimpses of politicians, community groups and other participants.
The parade is one of the highlights of the annual Community Days festival, which wraps up Monday.
Sarah Lawless of Mundelein and her 2-year-old son, Owen, sing along to a cover of "American Pie" by Don McLean played Sunday at the Mundelein Community Days Parade. "Our whole family comes every year," Lawless said. "It's just awesome to see the community come together to celebrate on such a beautiful day."
