Dear Fred,

On behalf of the Chicago Festival Association, we would like to thank you for your participation in the parade last week. It was a magical day with great weather and wonderful performances by all groups in the parade. We have been getting many congratulatory phone calls and e-mails on what a great parade it was. We could not have done it without your participation!

Celebrating 75 years of holiday tradition in Chicago, the parade was expanded to three hours and what a three hours it was with great staged performances, boisterous marching bands and fabulous inflatables. The parade was broadcast to an estimated 75 million cable homes across the country on WGN-TV9 and WGN America. If you missed any of the parade, you can view the parade on their website at
