Once again the float for CORAL, Coalition of Rainbow Alliances, won the Governor’s Sweepstakes Award at the Illinois State Fair Twilight Parade. This is the 8th year in a row they have won that prize and it marks 12 years in a row they have won an award in the parade. The “Full Steam Ahead” float featured images from the skylines of Chicago and Springfield, joined by an Amtrak train. Photo by David Strzepek
