Did you know about the annual LOUIE LOUIE parades in Peoria?<\/p>\n

Here’s the word from LouieLouiePeoria.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Since 1987, Central Illinois has been kicking off the summer with the St. Jude Louie Louie Parade and RiverJam<\/strong> in downtown Peoria with the sole purpose of raising money for the St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital. We have raised over $300,000 for St. Jude since this event began.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s a video from the 2017 parade, shared by Ron Johnson<\/strong>, staff photographer at Peoria Journal Star, news and sports junkie, lover of jazz music and great beer, published on: May 26, 2017:<\/p>\n
