Villa Park Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 2801 held its Independence Day Parade on Monday, July 4. The celebration marked the village’s first Fourth of July Parade in three years. The 2020 and 2021 parades were canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This photo from this year’s event shows Villa Park Trustee David Cilella throwing candy toward young spectators along the parade route. Cilella is pictured with Villa Park Village President Nick Cuzzone (riding in the passenger seat) on Central Boulevard near Harvard Avenue.
