Drawing Contest Winners Selected for Lemont Keepataw Day Parade

Lemont Keepataw Day, a local nonprofit 501(c)3 arts, culture, and humanities organization, in partnership with the Lemont Public Library, is thrilled to announce the winners of its recent drawing contest. This event wouldn't have been possible without the active participation of the Lemont community.

The drawing contest, which was open to Lemont youth ages 8 to 14, invited participants to create a drawing that celebrated the theme of “Village of Volunteers," a reflection of the community's spirit of service and cooperation.

The winners have secured the honor of holding the lead banners in the 72nd Annual Keepataw Day Parade, which will be held on Sunday, September 1, 2024, at 1 p.m. in downtown Lemont.

The winners are Kensi Cunningham, age 10, and Natalie Rupert, age 14. Congratulations!

Everyone who entered the contest is invited to be in the parade and walk/ride with the Lemont Public Library!

The 72nd Annual Lemont Keepataw Day Parade will kick off at 1 p.m., followed by a fun fest at 2 p.m. in the Metra parking lot. The fun fest promises a day of enjoyment with live bands, food and beverage vendors, an artisan market, family-friendly activities, and more.

The live band lineup will include the 90s rock band Grungeworthy from 2 to 4:30 p.m., classic rock band Anthem from 5 to 7:30 p.m., and cover band headliner Maggie Speaks from 8 to 11 p.m.
