I didn't have a great view from where I was sitting, so I searched for a better spot and came across the jumbo screen in the paddock area. What an exciting evening!

Day 134 - News
Fox News and many other stations were on hand today for a huge celebration! Hometown hero, Lee DeWyze, returned from Hollywood to celebrate his American Idol status with friends, family, and his community.
I'm not a huge American Idol fan, but many of my friends are. I got caught up in the positive energy and headed to Arlington Park Race Track to see Lee DeWyze. There were about 40,000 fans crowded into the grandstand and ground level by the track. When Lee took the stage in the winner's circle, he was overcome by emotion as he looked out at everyone who had come to support him.

Nicely shot. Seems so out of place, yet what it should be. I do get involved in watching Idol. Rooting for Lee this year. Seems he is the kid who is in our at risk programs and finally found himself.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I'm glad he is having this opportunity. I wonder why a teacher along the way never tapped into his love for music.
