Sullivan Pilgrimage a Day to Remember |
On June 6, the Sixth Western District group rented a bus and went to Sullivan for the day. It was an enjoyable day, spent in fellowship with brother masons and their families. Numerous Illinois Masonic organizations, as well as other groups, set up "boothes" for a carnival-type atmosphere, which delighted young and old. Free food included popcorn, pop, cotton candy, cookies, hotdogs, etc... Many also took a tour of the Masonic Home and the new condiminiums. Two plays were presented: "December Rose", by the Valley of Danville; and the "Funeral of Billy Morton", by the Chicago Scottish Rite. A magic show was performed for the young, as well as the young at heart. Other attractions included: clowns, horse and cart rides, an antique car display, hot air balloon display, colorful "bounce houses" for the kids, the Shriner Jazz Band, bagpipe players and a barber shop quartet. |
