I remember this homecoming parade - especially the float with the pirate ship. I think the boat they used for the ship belonged to the Beagle family. Neat memory.
I love this!! Someone just sent it to me….my first car was a ‘59 chevy convertible and I grew up in Park Ridge and I remember Maine South had parades….I went to a girls school in Des Plaines St Pats. ‘69..Been here in Palatine since ‘80 whoever shot this video thank you ! I am on historical society and beautification commission and this is fabulous! Pat Moore Fluhler
Yeah, someone seemed very much interested in the brunette who drove the black Buick... so much so that they risked driving while operating an 8mm camera. I assume it was an 8mm, as so many of them were. I remember at least one shirt box full of reels at my house.
This reminds me of the Maid of the Mist Parade’s here in Niagara Falls NY in the 1960’s and summer of 1968 I was in that years Maid of Mist Parade with my Boy Scout Troop 836 from St. Joseph’s Church ⛪️ 14th Street (Tranalone Street now) & Pine Avenue

Thanks for the upload my parents and my brother are in this video watching the parade. Amazing find
Love this video ... I visited Palatine with farmers who had a farm on Dundee Rd in the 1950's.
This is the town where I grew up. I was around 12 when this was filmed. The day the Ben Franklin burned much later was a city tragedy.
Great video thank's 👍
