Ultimate Chicago Gift Guide: South Side Irish Banner

SHARE Ultimate Chicago Gift Guide: South Side Irish Banner

FOR THE SOUTH SIDE IRISH REVELER

Here’s a chance to celebrate Irish heritage, celebrate a uniquely Chicago event and raise money for a good cause. For $50 (plus shipping) you can customize a mini banner created by the group behind the South Side Irish Parade. It’s a near replica of the banners that hang along Western Avenue during the parade. But there’s a time limit. You have to order it by Dec. 16. So hop to it!

“We had a great response to last year’s mini-banner holiday sale so we’re offering it again this year,”said Kevin Coakley, co-chair of the South Side Irish Parade Committee. “So many people from the neighborhood — and those who have moved away but have fond memories of the parade — said they liked the chance to give a gift of the South Side Irish Parade for Christmas.”

The unframed personalized banners are 12-by-24 inches and feature the parade’s logo and your choice of family or business name. Order at southsideirishparade.org.
