The Griffins participated in a parade and ceremony after competing in the Class 7A state championship game.
Every game has a winner and a loser. It's a part of football, and it's a part of life. While the Lincoln-Way East High School Griffins did not win the Class 7A state championship title, they can hardly be called losers. They stepped out on that Memorial Stadium field as conference champions. They stepped out on that field 13-0. They gave all they had to give and then some more. They are definitely champions. After such a difficult loss, a parade may have been the last thing on the Griffins' minds. But the Lincoln-Way community was not going to let them hang their heads and sit at home.

During the holiday season, downtown Frankfort is traditionally illuminated with Christmas lights on Breidert Green and surrounding businesses. But during Christkindl Weekend, the downtown had some special, additional lighting for a time thanks to the annual St. Nicholas Lantern Parade on Saturday, Dec. 3. The parade, a Frankfort family tradition led by St. Nicholas himself, started at the Frankfort Historical Society Museum on Kansas Street and more than 100 people--mostly parents, grandparents and children--marched to Breidert Green, glow stick-lighted lanterns in tow. At the green, the participants listened to two poems read by St. Nicholas and enjoyed cookies and other treats. Check out the video in our media gallery for highlights from…
