Saufen Und Speil Final Day

For a small community, Johnsburg, Illinois, can really put on one huge party, and, not only that but a big parade. Along with all the politicians, especially this time of year, the high school marching band, there were two large contingents of antique tractors, one from Johnsburg and another from nearby Ringwood. This is keeping with the agricultural former nature of McHenry County. Of course, now, many fields are sprouting houses as the Chicago sprawl reaches its tentacles outward.

Afterwards, there was lots of food and drinks as hordes descended on the park by the community club. We were lucky enough to get a picnic table out by the entertainment and beer tents and had to defend it vigorously throughout the afternoon.

Dr. Rhythm & the Rockers played party songs outside while a German oompah band played in the club.

Well worth a stop-by if you're in the area the weekend after Labor Day next year.
