After the winning Chicago snowplow names were revealed earlier this year, the city put the newly named plows on parade Friday.
The seven winning snowplows were paraded Friday, at the city's salt shed, with the residents who submitted the winning names present.
"Very surreal to be here right now, I told my parents after I won, 'most people are naming kids; I'm naming a snowplow. So, that's where we're at right now," said Will Hager, who submitted the winning name.The city maintains a fleet of 300 snowplows, which are responsible for plowing 9,400 lane miles of roadway.
Even though ABC7 Chicago reporter Christian Piekos didn't win the competition, he had some suggestions of his own, including Museum of Science and Plow, Brian Snowlacker and LollaPaPlowza.
