Peoria Illinoisan

I think that’s stretching it a little, but I was pleasantly surprised to find Kirk Wessler linking to the little video I made. That was awful nice of him. Glad he didn’t mind that I borrowed a few pictures… (the three dramatic frat house photos came from a combo of Kirk’s blog and Journal Star photos. The closing scene came from Marie King Carroll’s blog Requiem for a neighborhood)

If you’d like to meet a not-really-a-celebrity in person, visit the PeoriaPlayhouse tent at this weekend’s Prairie Air Show. You might even call it a mini-blogger bash as I believe Eyebrows will be there also. Take a break and check out the plans for the Children’s Museum while the kids play. Planned activities include parachute games, making UV bracelets, coloring pictures to send to soldiers serving overseas, building with boxes, and an “archaeological dig” in the sand.

Make sure your children pick up their “passport” before you explore the air show grounds otherwise you’ll be backtracking in an effort to get them stamped at the various exhibits and booths. Bring back the fully stamped passport and they’ll get a bag full of goodies to take home. (PI’s top secret tip of the day: even if they don’t get all of the passport spaces stamped, they can still get the goodie bag. Just ask nicely.)

A piece of advice for the novice air show attendee- wear comfortable walking shoes, put on some sunscreen and drink lots of water.
