The weather was made to order, the parade route was lined with revelers and the Chicago Blues were once again a major attraction at the 21st annual Elmhurst St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday, March 4. The Chicago Blues participated for the ninth straight year. 

Blue players and their family members walked or roller-bladed in the second-largest St. Patrick's Day parade in Illinois. Parade marchers passed out treats and our famous Chicago Blues/Blackhawks pucks. Thanks to Ron Pretzie and Bill Paschen for once again organizing the event!
