Wheaton and WaucondaFest

I drove out to Wheaton to drop off some stuff at Scott's and pick up the dining room buffet he and Sarah have borrowed for the last decade but no longer need, and then he and I biked on the Illinois Prairie Path despite the 89 degree heat and checked out this sculpture along the trail...



They have a successful vegetable garden this year which Scott showed off...



Then I dropped in on the annual WaucondaFest for a bit...



...and also checked out the canoe/kayak launch area at Bangs Lake and discovered they had built a boardwalk and created a nice nature walk on the lakeshore...



Next week when the bubbub of the Fest is over, I'll be bringing the kayak down for a circumnavigation of the lake.
