It always looks great from the pictures.
Iowa Gas ALWAYS looks better in Pictures cause ya can't feel the Heat/Humidity!
I'm thinking it's Looking better every year.
REALLY FEEL it would be bigger & last longer IF it were moved to COOLER Weather.
I didn't think the heat was at all bad Dick,and very,very sustainable.Nothing like the 100 degree heat index days we went through in the beginning of July.
I'm 50,grew up in Chicagoland all my life,and it was nothing different then anything else I've encountered here around the asphalt jungle.
Wear a T-shirt,shorts and a hat,and you'll be fine.
There was ample shade & water everywhere.Even the air conditioned Holiday Inn is never more then 10 steps away.
Nothing to complain about at all weather wise.
