event has become the signature event of Lakewood. Last year was downsized from the year
before, and smaller than the year before. This year's event was PACKED! With smiling
families, and business owners.
Ian Andrews, Ken Brand, Hilary Shickler and everyone at LakewoodAlive really pulled an
amazing event off this year. I have no idea the actual numbers, but it was packed from
just east of Marlowe to west of St. Charles, and I mean packed when the fireworks started.
Because of the Lakewood Center North building, the crowd picked up again at Warren and
was packed again to almost Gladys. I am talking packed!
All along the route, there were great things to do to keep a person busy and interested.
As I mentioned with had a group there taking pictures, and the first one to post is Tyler Wick,

You can see more of his images at:

We will be adding my photos throughout the day tomorrow. I know I shot about 700,
and the Lovejoy brothers we snapping photos from every angle imaginable. They really
are a couple classic Lakewoodites who love the city and love to share their wonderful
images with the city.
So check out Tyler's
and once again thank you to Ian Andrews for his leadership and for pulling together a great
crew that have really made Light-Up_Lakewood a premiere event!
