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.
