Shot on 8mm film in 1957, this vintage home movie captures a Memorial Day parade in Normal, Illinois. A large military artillery piece rolls down the street, flanked by uniformed personnel and children in helmets. Spectators line the sidewalks in front of a classical building with columns, watching the procession under bright summer sunlight. The footage shows natural film grain, slight motion blur, and the authentic look of a mid-century American small-town celebration.
