"Trials and Trails" at Steelworkers Park

I love the arts. They bring out the emotion in you that is created by the artist. You connect either from your experiences, or the experience being told by the artist that you relate too. 

This multidisciplinary performance from Cowboys and Vikings: Trials and Trails of Steelworkers Park did just that. When you here the story of the steel mills on the South side of Chicago, you imagine all of the workers who put their lives on the line to provide for their families.

To lead us off in this evenings performance was the Horace Mann Marching Mustangs from the East side of Chicago. Given the chilly evening I can say they performed great. Their entrance, dance and music, and exit were all outstanding. Here are some photographs.
