The October 1988 Berwyn Houby Day Parade. Berwyn Illinois., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
Just recently, several boxes of 35 mm photographs that I had taken during the 1980's, surfaced during a recent visit to my Mother's house. These photos were in storage for several years, and pretty much put aside.
After several years, I decided to scan many of these to photo CD's, and share some of my "Lost" photographs with everyone here at Eddie's Railfan Page.
I took this photograph facing east on West Cermak Road, in the west suburban village of Berwyn Illinois. The event was the annual Berwyn Illinois Houby Day Parade, which takes place every year in October.
"Houby" (Pronounced "Ho -Bee") is actually a Czech language word for Mushroom. Every year Berwyn celebrates their Czech American heritage of the past, with the annual Houby Fest along West Cermak Road.
In this photograph, the parade is just begining. The man operating the Go Kart designed to look like a Police patrol car, is proboubly the official Berwyn Chief of Police. Here he is leading the start of the annual Berwyn Houby Day Parade.
Thanks.
Eddie K.
