More than a hundred dogs and their owners showed up at Wentworth Park on a beautiful Saturday (June 4) to take part in the Garfield Ridge Chamber of Commerce's annual pet parade 🐶.

The Southwest Chicago Post was there with a camera. Here are a handful of photos we took, along with a few from others at the event.

Thank you to Garfield Ridge Chamber of Commerce President Mary Ellen Brown and her sturdy crew of dedicated volunteers for once again staging a fun public event. The GRCC and its members continue to show the value of a vibrant, neighborhood-based business community. Please remember that next time you need to go shopping for goods or services. 😀

Looking to get rid of unwanted, outdated prescription drugs?

Then make plans to head over to Byrne School, 54th and Oak Park, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, June 4--where 23rd Ward Alderman Silvana Tabares will host a shred/drug take-back event.

The prescription drug take-back is sponsored by the Cook County Sheriff's Office.
