I intended to do the primo July 4th celebration, including TWO parades and festivals, two parties, and two sets of fireworks, and accomplished all of it.
Worked in the yard a little, then drove to Fox Lake, Illinois, and saw a disappointing parade due to the many gaps in the line up. I stopped watching and walked over to Millineum Park and took a look at the vendors and food. Bought an ear of corn for a buck. It was a Buck-an-Ear. Get it.
Then, we went to the Spring Grove parade for the first time ever. Usually, we are in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, for their parade, but they had their celebration the weekend before.
Had a hard time getting to Horse Fair Park because of closed roads. Finally had to a very round-about drive to get there. It cost $5 to park (went to pay for the fireworks). Walked past Spring Grove School to Main Street, where the parade was to take place.
I was amazed at how many people were there, but, once the parade started, I understood. For a village of about 4,000, this was quite a parade. It lasted a little over an hour, with no significant gaps.
