Lawn Rangers

Lawn Rangers

The Lawn Rangers are a "precision lawn mower drill team" from Arcola, Illinois.

The group has participated in a number of parades including the Holiday Bowl parade in San Diego, California, the Fiesta Bowl parade in Tempe, Arizona, the Indianapolis 500 parade, and the NFL Hall of Fame Game parade in Canton, Ohio. The group considers the Broomcorn Festival parade in their hometown of Arcola to be their flagship parade.

Of the participants, perhaps the most famous is humorist Dave Barry, who has marched with the parade on a number of occasions and written about them in his column. [cite web|url=http://www.davebarry.com/president/dave2k/columns/cow.htm|first=Dave|last=Barry|title=Weirdville, USA]

The Illinois General Assembly honored the Lawn Rangers with a resolution commemorating their achievements in 2005.
