Celebrating Community at the Saufen und Spiel Parade

Some days just stand out in our community- and the Saufen und Spiel Parade is always one of them. On September 7th, Johnsburg’s streets were alive for the 54th annual parade. We at Ray Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram couldn’t have been prouder to be part of it.

 

This event is much more than a sponsorship for us. It’s a chance to celebrate with our neighbors, friends, and families. From the very start, you could feel the excitement building.

 

What made this day so special?

 

  • Local clubs, organizations, and families came together in true community spirit.
  • Colorful floats and festive music lined the route, setting a joyful tone.
  • Volunteers and staff worked hard behind the scenes to make the day enjoyable for everyone.

 

Being at the parade is what we’re all about at Ray CDJR. We believe a dealership should do more than just sell cars; we’re here to be a trusted part of the community.

 

There was something for everyone:

 

  • Tasty food and drinks from local vendors
  • Rides and bounce houses for the kids
  • Games and activities for all ages
  • The whole field was alive with laughter, music, and the sense of togetherness

 

Music, Memories, and More

 

  • Live music made the day even better.
  • Ray Auto Group sponsored two crowd-pleasing acts.
  • Jonathan Polit’s performance got toes tapping in the early afternoon.
  • Forever Flannel filled the air with 90s favorites, bringing the crowd together.

 

Special moments included:

 

  • The always-popular Glockenspiel performances
  • The annual Cow Drop Raffle that had everyone talking

 

Our Commitment to You

 

At Ray Auto Group, community support is part of who we are.

 

Here’s what matters most to us:

  • Creating shared experiences that make Johnsburg stronger
  • Supporting events that bring out the best in our community

 

We’re grateful to the Johnsburg Community Club, every volunteer, and each attendee who made the event so memorable. Your smiles, handshakes, and presence are why we do what we do.

 

See You Next Year!
