What words can I conjure up from my vocabulary to describe the amazing experience that was the 4th of July in Bloomington? I feel that my words alone wouldn't (couldn't) be adequate to communicate how the people of this wonderful town welcomed us with the warm embrace of their community.
We were treated to a delicious cook out style lunch in Danvers, we were greeted by droves of flag waving patriots along the roadways of Normal, and we were given a heroes welcome on the steps of the court house in Bloomington. After a dinner grilled by the men and women of the Illinois headquarters of the American Legion, we were the guests of honor at the Celebrate America show. As the sun set and the crowds gathered with blankets and sparklers on the lawn, we were escorted to an air conditioned "press box" to watch the fireworks. And what an impressive show it was!
I updated this blog with plenty of pictures, so be sure to go back a few pages to see them all.
Thank you Bloomington! Thank you State Farm! Thank you!
