Driving Directions
The Bourbonnais Friendship Festival is pleased to announce
its Grand Marshals for the 2011 Children's Parade.
Ian and Brenna Dunn, children of the late Jim Dunn of Bourbonnais,
will be leading off the parade on Friday, June 24, 2011, at 6:30p.m.
This year's parade is being dedicated to the memory of Jim, who
died in January of this year. Jim was a Bourbonnais Auxillary Police
Officer who volunteered in that capacity for the festival for many
years. “Parade duty” was one of his favorite tasks.
Ian, 16, just finished his sophomore year at BBCHS, where he was
a member of the Scholastic Bowl Team. Ian also enjoys trap shooting
with Xline Sportsman's Club, guitar playing, and historical re-enacting. He is currently working diligently on getting his driver's license.
Brenna, 11, just completed her 5th grade year at Maternity B.V.M.
She is an avid ballet, hip-hop, and jazz dancer, who has studied at
Paula Aubry since she was a preschooler.
Both children are active and involved members of Maternity
B.V.M.'s Youth Group. They live with their aunt and uncle, Pat
and Marissa Dunn of Bourbonnais, and are the grandchildren of
Tom and Barbara Dunn of Bourbonnais. Tom also served for many
years as an auxilliary police volunteer.
