Summer is back and I checked out the Memorial Day parade in Freeport. The weather was beautiful, the breeze was cool and I got a mega sun burn.

Alpacas at Farm Days

I should probably mention that there is no rhyme or reason to this blog. There's no one to impress here and I think video blogging is just more fun when you wing it. That said, I went to Farm Days in Forreston to see the alpacas. Actually my wife Rachel wanted to see the alpacas and I wanted to try out my new video gear.

Did I mention that I sold off my pro camcorder and bought a Canon 7D DSLR? Well, I did. And it looks fantastic! I'm still learning the controls and settings so this video is a bit overexposed. So here it is, alpacas at Farm Days in Forreston, IL. I know it's not "Freeport", but it's in the area so it counts.

Silver Creek Steam

I've been very busy this summer traveling and working on side projects but I'm back on track with some more Freeport area events. Here are the Silver Creek Museum steam engines that I visited on Memorial Day weekend. Check out the museum website.

Super Car Night

Sorry for the delay. I'm hosting the video files over at Vimeo because I'm not very impressed by Blogger's video encoding.

Here's some highlights from Super Car Night on Wednesday, May 19.
Thanks again everyone!
