DOWNTOWN CHICAGO ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.........

 

Here comes the Parade !!!

 
The Chicago Memorial Day Military Parade
 
 
The biggest Parade of it's kind.
 
 
 
********
 
Other events of the day included
watching
Morris Dancers in Millenium Park.
 
 

 
 I have always wanted to see Morris Bell Dancers. 
Notice the leather leg shields covered with bells.
These dances originated in early days in England. 
The "rag" costumes probably originated in Wales.
Dancers from several states showed their talents.
