Evanston Fourth of July Parade and BBQ
July 4, 2007
11:30 to 12:00 assemble at the Osburn’s house--800
Brown Ave., Evanston, IL 60202--for refreshments and paperwork. For
directions, here is a link to Google Maps... SPECIAL NOTE--going north on 294, the east bound exit at
Dempster is closed for construction! If you are coming up 294, we recommend
exiting at Touhy--a real Miata off ramp that is almost hidden right after the
toll plaza. 8 miles east and you reach McCormick Blvd., 1 mile north to Main
Street then ½ mile east to Brown Avenue and 1 block south to Washington to our
house. In case you need further directions, our phone number is
847-864-6982. 12:15 we will caravan over to our staging area in
north Evanston, decorate the cars and wait for our turn. The theme is
“Summertime, Good Time”, our Miatas are the essence of Summertime--so let your
creativity loose!
After the parade, we return to the Osburn’s for the optional
picnic in the yard (a nominal fee of $10/person will be collected). Italian
beef and parmesan chicken breast sandwiches are featured this year, along with
baked beans, several cold salads, beer and pop. Feel free to bring a small
dessert to share.

Thanks, Jim & Anne Osburn
