Morton Grove 4th of July Parade -- The Shriners Return

I grew up in Morton Grove, Illinois, which was the topic of one of my most popular posts (No. 3 all time). The Village of Morton Grove is a place that honors charity and community service and is a locale where traditions continue. This year, as usual, the Shriners were well represented in the lengthy 4th of July parade parade down Dempster. They are folks whose charity is second to none and they love their conveyances. Here are some photos, shared courtesy of the North Shore Voice.   

The Shriners love their camels.  They have noses.  Anyone got a tent?

And the parade ended with the obligatory street sweeper.
