Music On Chicago
By Brehanna Smith and Keith Bardell
Freeport- For the past eight years Freeport has held Music on Chicago. Every year a few local bands come and play for whoever wants to listen.
In between Stephenson and Main Street on Chicago Avenue adults looking for something relaxing and safe to do gather to listen to local music; this year it was Friktion, from Freeport, headlining and No Drama, from Rockford.
"There is great verity, this is a great event to socialize and met people it’s a great this for Freeport," said local Dana Zimmerman.
Seven food vendors kept the audience members with a variety of foods ranging from ribs to confectionary. Cole's Confectionary had many desserts to choose from.
"The food is great!" sais Judy Nelson of Freeport as she enjoyed her brownie from Cole's.
