Newark 175th Anniversary

Yesterday, Newark, Ill. ended their week long celebration for their 175th anniversary with a parade and many other activities in and around their downtown area. This was my sixth year that I have witnessed the festivities first hand. According to an old wise man who grew up in Newark, but now currently resides in Chicago, this year was by far the largest turnout.

On May 31, 2010, I covered the Memorial Day parade in DeKalb, Ill. I had photographed many of the veterans that were a part of the parade in the past for other assignments so it made it much easier to get closer and shoot more intimate moments like this one.
