Fourth of July Parade 2017 :: Evanston style

Officials estimate close to 43,000 people came out on Tuesday for Evanston's Fourth of July Parade. I marched with the Rotarians. As usual I made pictures of friends and neighbors on the curb.

Missed seeing my friend +Randi Belisomo, who with her photographer, caught some nice video for WGN-TV.

For the Evanston Review, David Kraus made some nice images too.

                  all the talent, paid and unpaid, that makes the parade great.

Fourth of July parade fun Evanston-style

Keeping cool with a little help from a friend: Evanston native Joel Lerner helps his ol' friend,
parade official Hillary Bean, cool off a bit before the start of the 2012 Evanston 4th of July
parade. Temperatures were reported to be up to 99 degrees F in Evanston. Joel marched with
Rotary and covered the parade for the Evanston Review. (His take is online now.)

Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl gets cool by the fire station on Central.

Grand Marshal Sakuji Tanaka, Rotary International's President 2012-2013 cooled off by the fire station too.

Carolyn Dellutri, Wally Bobkiewicz and other Rotarians cool off walking past the fire station.

Love them. One of the Jesse White Tumblers
