Meredith Parmele, 7, of Crystal Lake, peers out from behind her hand-colored triceratops mask as she and other children join in a dinosaur parade during a dinosaur-themed Super Saturday event for kindergarten and first graders at Algonquin Public Library. Several of the kids let loose and roared and stomped like the ancient creatures during the parade after they learned all about dinos in the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

Sue Czech and her son Louis work quickly Monday to get new letters up on the Community Events board outside the old village hall building in downtown Algonquin. They picked the date weeks ago to change the sign, advertising the Shamrock Shave fundraiser at St. Margaret Mary parish, not knowing they would be out working in brutal below-zero temperatures. Mercifully for them, the sign and its cover provided shelter from the wind while they worked. The Czech family lives in Algonquin.
