Northbrook residents and out-of-towners lined picnic chairs along the annual Fourth of July Parade route on Friday while children awaited candy to fill their empty bags.
About 72 parade participants drove, walked or rode on floats east up Cherry Lane in Northbrook, celebrating Independence Day with loud music, friendly smiles and family fun.
Scott Dickey, who now lives in Mississippi but grew up in Northbrook, recalled when he was part of the parade with the Glenbrook North High School marching band.
