Please be aware of the upcoming street closures for the Memorial Day Parade in Winthrop Harbor. While you’re out enjoying the festivities, we invite everyone to come together as a community to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸

We look forward to seeing families, friends, and neighbors lining the streets as we celebrate Memorial Day together. Thank you to the Village of Winthrop Harbor, Public Works, Police Department, and all those helping make this event possible.

Every generation builds something that lasts.
For some, it’s a family business. For others, it’s the freedom and security of a nation.

Today and everyday, we honor the veterans whose strength and sacrifice built the foundation we all stand on.

From all of us at Wenzel’s Automotive, thank you for the service and commitment that remind us what lasting integrity truly means.
