The float of First United Methodist Church of West Chicago received the Grand Marshal Award for best depicting the theme of the parade, “We Had A Dream.” With its participation in the Shoeman Project, the church members had the dream to collect 5,000 pairs of shoes, which then would be sold to world exporters and this money used to buy well and water purification systems for Kenya and Haiti.
