Who doesn't love a parade?  The annual Wish Upon A Star Easter Parade is one of the best.  Featuring decorated floats, marching bands and the Easter Bunny, this year's parade kicked off at the Will County Office building and headed south on Chicago Street to Jefferson, turned East on Jefferson to Scott, and followed Scott back north to the start point.
