Ruthie Pignatari, 15, Teen Miss Grayslake 2020, marched her pet duck called Chicken in a baby stroller in the Bike and Pet Parade during the Grayslake Summer Days on Saturday.
If you missed Grayslake Summer Days on Saturday, then you missed something special: Chicken the duck was featured in their pet parade.
Chicken is owned by last year’s Teen Miss Grayslake 2020, Ruthie Pignatari, 15, of Grayslake, who proudly pushed her pet duck in a baby stroller during the parade.
Grayslake Summer Days on Friday and Saturday celebrated “Grayslake 125+1,” the town’s 125th anniversary but a year later because of the COVID-19 hiatus in 2020.
Maryibeth Hamm, Grayslake Chamber of Commer executive member, said 10,000 people will visit the two-day celebration that featured things like a pie eating contest starring Grayslake Mayor Rhett Taylor and the sounds from the fan-favorite band American English.
