4th of July, In Evanston

Today has been a busy day for me. But perhaps not as busy as Daniel Biss who had four parades to attend. First I went to the Democratic Party of Evanston (DPoE) picnic. Then right afterwards, went to my first Evanston 4th parade. I was helping hold a big banner, with the rest of the DPoE Board members:

I must say being in the parade, as opposed to watching it from the sidewalks, is much fun! Certainly something everyone should try once. Being whom I am, I took pictures along the way. And at night went to the lake beach, yes on the sand next to the water, to watch the fireworks.

First the DPoE picnic pictures...

And the rest of the parade picture, most of which are while standing around waiting for our turn to get into the parade...

Fireworks pictures forthcoming!
