THE CHICAGO SEEN:
Many of the most prominent were sighted actually in Chicago last week! Here are just a few of those sightings.
Last weekend most of the prominent sightings took place in Chicago where the Mayor of Greenville was attending the 100th anniversary of the opening of Wrigley Field that Wednesday! It was awesome seeing the granddaughter of the lady who threw out the first pitch 100 years ago; throw the same ball out a century later! Two biplanes flew over and some fans were dressed in vintage clothing! It was also good to see the recently re-opened Johnny O’Hagan’s after the game!
*****
On Thursday night I met up with my fellow Thirstday H3 group and we had a fun trail and fun night! Several greats were spotted including “Fuji”, “WJ40”, “Foamy”, “Drill”, “Snatchsquatch” and the legendary “Horn-E!”

It was a great weekend and I can hardly wait to return!
