These women have been coming from eastern Iowa and western Illinos to Fox Valley Mall in Aurora on Black Friday for several decades. They call themselves "Evie's Angels," after the woman who started the tradition. She died of breast cancer, so the women wear pink items in her memory. They are Bobbie Jensen, left, of Fulton, Carol Decker of Albany, Zoey Klavenga of Fulton, Charlene Klavenga of Fulton and Sally Mussmann of Clinton, Iowa.

That's drummer Pete Mack of Chicago on the left, bassist Tom Lopatka of Elgin on the right, and keyboardist Tom Hartnett of Oswego behind Knutson.
