The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Kicking Off America's 248th Birthday-- Part 2: A Festival and Fireworks

SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 2024

Inn the afternoon, I drove over to McHenry for the Taste of McHenry on Main Street festival which ran from 11 to 5 p.m.  I met my biddy Glenn there at Ye Olde Corner Tap on the corner of Main Street and Illinois Highway 31 and we had a drink there before walking out on Main Street which was blocked off for the event.

They had food trucks plus the restaurants on the street had booths offering their food as well.  We stayed away from the arts and crafts areas as both of us need to be getting rid of stuff as opposed to buying stuff.

We stopped for a couple $1.50 drafts at Moe's on Main and went outside afterwards and listened to solo performer Amy Yore.  Glenn had to leave, but I stuck around and saw a five-piece acoustic group put on a real fun show.  Their name was iPop.

Came home and at 8, drove to the Fox Lake American Legion and watched the Fox Lake fireworks display in Nippersink Lake from there.

So, I got my 4th of July's worth:  a parade, festival, bands and fireworks.

Happy Birthday America.  --RoadStarsandStripes
