(FROM THE ARTICLE: The day stepped off with Schaumburg’s Labor Day parade along Summit Drive — a milelong, hourslong cavalcade of more than 70 marching units, including the high school bands from Schaumburg and Conant, folk dance performers, civic groups, and even the Wienermobile. Marchers handed out mini American flags and candy for the kids. There were politicians stumping for votes, too, including Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Don Tracy, and 8th congressional district Democratic candidate Melissa Bean.)
