The Saturday Night Crowd
It was West Chicago's party and on Saturday night, the crowd was the star.

Shankle's Lead Singer
This one just kinda catches the spirit of the appearance.  The band seemed to be genuinely enjoying what they were doing.

The Honor Guard
We honor the flag, but we should also honor the men and women who carry it, and have carried it in the past.

These two collages, although simpler than many, are where this foolishness started.  I had my digital camera with me at the Heritage carnival as I reported to Dave Sabathne to sell tickets.  Rather than leave it in the car, I took it with me to the booth and snapped a  couple of pictures intending to use them at the Chamber of Commerce site.  Instead, I got some "kids-having-fun" pictures and decided to post them as a collage.  The next day, I snapped some pictures while helping Mike Kwasman with registration for the Heritage Parade.
