Description |
This is a photograph of the Oak Lawn 4th of July 2012 Duck Race sponsored by the Oak Lawn Fire Department. Proceeds of the event went to the Megan Hurckes Scholarship Fund and the Oak Lawn Children's Museum. The photo was taken by Lake Shore Park (Oak Lawn Lake) and features OLFD Firefighter Bob Lanz and OLFD Lt. Steven Rocky standing in the creek making sure all the ducks are moving in the correct direction. OLFD Engineer Anthony "Chico" Padula, stationed atop the inlets of the creek as it emerges from underneath 95th Street, assists the ducks on their way down with help of the spray of a fire hose. Spectators can be seen watching on both sides of the creek. |
