The early-spring weather was made to order, the parade route was lined with revelers and the Chicago Blues were once again a major attraction at the 22nd annual Elmhurst St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday, March 10.

For the 10th straight year, Chicago Blues 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, Andrea O’Connor, Carmela and Sam Menna, Laura Perotti and everyone else who donated a ton of time to make it a success.
