The North Judson Mint Festival Parade annually awards the Kenneth J. Lippelt Memorial Award. The Mint Festival always had a very special place in Kenny's heart and he was a huge supporter of the festival, especially the Mint Parade, and he would be so excited to celebrate the 37th Mint Festival! After his unfortunate death, the Mint Festival Committee, along with Kenny's family, created the Kenneth J. Lippelt Memorial Award to be given each year in his memory.
The award is to be given to the parade unit that best exemplifies the spirit and enthusiasm of the parade that Kenny displayed for many years.
The theme this year is "Mint is Supreme in 2014." The winning unit must incorporate the parade theme. So put on your thinking caps and start decorating your float or parade unit. Join in the fun in Kenny's honor.
