Homestead Festival 2016 in Princeton, IL.  I transformed my uniform into a Ghost Buster.   My niece was Slimer.  Pictured here are the members of my immediate family along with some of the members of my extended family.  My oldest sister and her husband own the historic movie theater in my hometown and they are always featured in the annual Homestead Festival Parade.  ( I have many memories of the theater growing up, fearfully watching Pet Cemetery, and  a first date in 8th grade). The Owen Lovejoy Homestead is located in Princeton, Il and was a stop on the Underground Railroad.  Lovejoy was an  abolitionist that lived in Princeton.
