Stilt walking

And stilt dancing


The Plainfield High School Marching Band

Showing off up there

This young helmeted rider was a bit more cautious, escorted by Tristian Cox


The Plainfield Vikings

You’ll be seeing more and more of Darryl Clarke as October’s annual Queen City 5k Race approaches

These steppers came from Hillside

Fourth of July Concert at Cedarbrook Park

The concert and fireworks were very well attended. Here’s a glimpse at just part of the crowd.

Tito Puente Jr invited four kids who were dancing in the front row to show their moves on stage




Night starts to fall
Fireworks!

And then the fireworks began


The bright explosive bursts casted daylight upon the onlookers


A red glow, looking to the east

Residents returning home in the gun powder fog looked like a Stephen King movie
