Not only did Leonie Nakvosas have a great seat to watch the Hinsdale Independence Day parade, she also had a built in noise protector from her dad, Darius, when the fire trucks blew their horns and sirens along First Street. This year's parade is the focus of this week's summer feature, Summer Days, on Page 5. Also more parade pictures can be found on Page 24 and online on Facebook at facebook.com/hinsdalean and Instagram at @the_hinsdalean. (Jim Slonoff photo)
Cloudy skies and a couple of sprinkles actually were a welcome relief to marchers in the annual Hinsdale Independence Day parade July 4. From the starting point at Eighth and Garfield to the finish at Sixth and Grant, hundreds if not thousands of people lined the streets. Charlotte Atkinson was on Garfield waving to participants as they marched by. Maddie and Leah Rudolph dodged a few sprinkles early during the parade. (Jim Slonoff photos)
