What do you get when you combine a several gallons of paint, plywood and power tools, a salvaged toilet and a group of multi-talented individuals?

Peoria Unit 86′s very own parade float.

That’s right, the Guild is taking its cause to the streets of downtown Peoria.

The Guild float will be one of the nearly 130 organizations that step off for the 32nd annual St. Patrick’s Day parade at 11 a.m. Saturday in Downtown Peoria.

The Guild is encouraging all members, retirees, family and friends to join the festivities as they march and spread the word about the importance of a robust news-gathering operation – one that produces the news of our community from right here in Peoria.
