Description
Described by one adult in the documentary as “primarily a pet parade for children” in the Chicago suburb of La Grange, Illinois, Palazzolo contrasts the enthusiasm of the children in attendance (who we see hamming it up for the camera) with the seriousness of some of the adults in attendance. Shots of the parade, floats, and marching bands are intercut with short interviews with some of the observers and participants—including the newly crowned Miss Hinsdale and her second runner up, the director of the “Turtleback Traders,” and a young woman with a wagon full of guinea pigs.
