What a fun and chilly morning yesterday! WGN Morning News' "Around Town" crew met us Historical Society folks at a local cemetery to talk about our 33rd annual Cemetery Walk this coming Sunday.
So excited to meet Ana Belaval, the host. She's as nice and fun in person as she is on TV.
We had two of the volunteers who will be acting as cemetery "residents" on Sunday.
Unfortunately, the producer who set up the segments with me wasn't able to be there today. However, we did get to see "Sweary Mary," one of the camera persons, who is mic'ing our actress here.
Very interesting to see the TV crew in action.
And she interviewed our executive director who gave all the details about the walk. We did have a scary moment when filming at the
Haymarket Martyrs monument. A man who lives nearby came walking toward us and started telling us that we need to tell the viewers the cemtery is on a Native American burial land. My coworker and the woman actress did a great job talking him down while I walked over to the film crew and my boss and motioned that we might have a problem. Ana asked me what was up and I told her the guy wanted to talk to her. She did talk to him and told him that information was interesting and that she would mention it (we were done filming). Anyway, the man was happy he got his say and calmly left.
Here she is with all of us history folks.
