When I visited the lot at Pierson and Dole after the parade, I learned that I had missed the biggest story.

I noted Monday that a Lady Liberty on stilts had walked the parade route.

She even posed for me so that I get her crown against the blue sky, instead of tree leaves.

Talking to some of the McHenry County Peace Group next to their banned signs and Statue of Liberty stationary float, I learned that the Lady Liberty on stilts had walked onto the lot and sung a song to those gathered there.

Nelson Borelli, the man seen flying the kite with a dove on it in front of the float, had taken picture of the two Statues of Liberty and agreed to send it to me.

He did and you can see the two replicas here today.
