"Restoring The Fourth Of July"

The Prospect Heights Natural Resources Commission has a thing for the Fourth of July parades. Marching ants, a giant praying mantis, a floating egret, great blue Herons, a twelve-foot Monarch butterfly, a trumpet playing turtle, a trombone playing squirrel, twirling milkweeds, cicadas, and a twenty-foot Monarch caterpillar are just a few of the creatures from PHNRC Commissioner John Kamysz’s mind to the pavement. Working with artists Kate Tully and Mara Lovisetto of the Sunflower Group and Puppeteer Heather Killian, they oversaw an army of PHNRC regular volunteers to bring magic to the streets and elevate the natural world. Come learn how this award-winning restoration organization has earned the “BEST OF SHOW” in the Arlington Heights parade three years running and the admiration of the hometown folks in Prospect Heights.
