EVERGREEN PARK, IL Neighbors are planning a surprise car parade for an Evergreen Park resident who is leaving for Army boot camp next week. The parade for 18-year-old Jack Novak is set for Jan. 18. Jack will be leaving for boot camp the next day.
Brittney DeMik is coordinating the details. She says the parade is a surprise, but Jack isn t a social media guy and gave us permission to promote the parade. Participants will meet at 3:15 p.m. Monday, Jan. 18, at Evergreen Park Community High School, 9901 S. Kedzie Ave. The parade will start heading to Jack s house at 3:30 p.m. Bring an American flag or deck your car in a patriotic theme. Please RSVP with Brittney at demik.brittney@gmail.com.
