I guess the antique/collectible fair at Waukegan Harbor is now an annual thing? Because we went to it last year also. I only got one camera this year.

This video is edited together from two different videos I took on the ride. I had my fingers over a good part of the first video, and I lost my grip on the camera in the second. So… sorry it’s kind of choppy.
