“We drive to help children walk”

West Suburban Shrine Club’s

“Roaring ‘57s” Parade Unit

Soup up your parade with the Roaring ‘57s, the parade unit of the West Suburban Shrine Club of the Medinah Shriners. Our eight speedy little cars are each painted in a different colour – “They’re like gumdrops,” says our Pit Crew Chief, Petey Papadogianis.

Launched at the start of the 2004 season, our already popular, award-winning parade performances steal the show with formation driving, interlocking circles, and enthusiastic audience interaction. Shriners know how to have a good time and the feelings are contagious. Click here for an informative brochure.

Email Petey to ask how you can schedule our eight newly repainted, tricked-out, award-winning ‘57 Chevy-styled mini-cars to perform in your parade and/or read more here.

There are no battery-powered nor otherwise wimpy motors here. Each car’s gasoline engine roars to life with 6½ horses of pure power, baby!

All Nobles: Please click here and review the 2008 Shrine Protocol Guide. Despite its brevity, the guide offers a wealth of information regarding protocol and a great number important reminders that many of us need, regarding fez wear, parade vehicles, inter alia.

& Imagery of Medinah’s

The page about the buildings associated with Medinah Shriners has been improved. You can now see the exteriors of Oriental Hall and Illustrious Potentate Tobey’s armoury. Additionally, proper addresses have been identified for both, as well for Noble Hurlbut’s office. The images and details of the old American Express Building have been significantly improved.
