Early Saturday morning they start with a clean slate at Pioneer Park on Dearborn
Street and have only a few hours to get the entire event up and running

 
 
Signs were especially difficult as the wind picked up first thing in the morning... 
but Capt. Jim O'brien knew how to make the whole thing come together

 
 

 
 
Signs had to be staked down

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
Fishn for Heroes coozies, hats and T-shirts were available for sale

 
 

 
 
Coffee and donuts for everyone that helped

 
 
All the volunteers were greatly appreciated

 
 
Always liked doing window portraits

 
 
But today... it was all about the chili
