Goodies from the 2013 Superman Celebration - Metropolis, IL





It's that time again, gang!  'Tis the week of Metropolis' Annual Superman Celebration!  I officially consider it the best time of the year to roam about shutterbugging... As this posts, that's likely exactly what I'm doing - 
Stay tuned as the weekend goes on and bookmark KCoJax Superman Celebration Photos to come back and check for updates... You can also follow KCoJax on Facebook - you'll see things there that never make it to here...

2013 Superman Celebration - Photo Round Up - Just a Sunday Afternoon at the Superman Statue...



I wish that EVERY Sunday in Metropolis could promise as much fun as the Sunday of Superman Celebration... The parade of costumery that traditionally takes place around 12:30 preludes by moments the $1000 costume contest held under the tent near the Superman Statue... so if you want to see characters in costume who truly are "being" their character - this is prime time, I just love it!!

I just can't understand your way of thinking if you live in Metropolis or Massac County and don't eat AT LEAST one full meal full of carnivally, fried, happy goodness during Superman Celebration...


Vendors at 6th and Market...


Gyros at 6th and Market... Behind this Gyro Wagon is the Super-Museum...

Jill Hatton at Chill-O's ... You'll go there for her icey treats, but grab some cotton candy while you're there - SUPER GOOD!

I estimate that I shot this from the intersection of 8th and Market... 


If you don't stop to try some of Adelle's jam and visit a bit, you're making a big mistake... what a divine lady!!

CORN DOG! HUGE! DELISH!

Alas it has arrived ... one of the most fun weekends of the year to be a photographer in Metropolis!  As I work on editing today to clear my desk so I can run about town and street photog my fanny off this weekend, I will share with you some of my faves from last year's Superman Celebration... 

Enjoy! 



Superman posing with tourists...




I grabbed a quick shot of this woman escorting these two fantastically caped characters around... I thought it was precious that one of them had tucked his pants into his Superhero Boots :)
