Well before the 6 a.m. start time, folks were out on

Central Street

setting up chairs to secure a great place to watch the annual Fourth of July parade, which kicks off at 2 p.m. Saturday. Representatives of Evanston‘s new puppet theatre, Theatre Zarko, have been working for days on their entry. One puppet told the RoundTable, “I promise you, you will love this parade!”
