Peoria celebrated in style with the largest fireworks display outside Chicago ... ever. And, this year with Chicago not hosting their usual display because of financial reason ... the largest in the state. It was magnificent.

It looks like they had fun.

Nice pic DB!!!!

We got back from Michigan in time for fireworks.

*** BUMP ***

Happy 4th of July … and God Bless America!!

I'm celebrating by preparing for tomorrow, when I will be participating in the Canvass II, when the last of the absentee & provisional votes from the most recent primary election are counted.

Serving as an election judge in a non-partisan manner is the most patriotic thing I can think of to do.

You got that right, GG!
