The Parade route was wet and lined with umbrellas - yet everyone seemed very happy to view the hour long display of parade components. Children were especially happy to receive candy and a variety of handouts from the many parade units. The parade celebrated the 60th Anniversary of the Village of Woodridge and the 50th anniversary of the Woodridge Park District.
