The City of Chicago and Cubs fans everywhere were happy to skip work, school, and everyday responsibilities in order to be part of the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 World Series Championship celebration.
Chicago Scenic shuffled its crew’s work schedules in order to work overnight and create the 165-foot by 40-foot stage extension and 90-foot long, three-tiered press riser for the Noon Celebration just 36 hours after the Cubs won Game 7 in Cleveland.
Chicago Scenic flew in 24 confetti cannons from California overnight; those cannons shot off 720 pounds of red, white and blue confetti along the parade route and at the Hutchinson Field Rally.
Skies were blue and the sun was out for this memorable celebration as Chicago turned out in record numbers (5 million people according to some sources) to cheer on their hometown heroes, at last.
