A Taste of Chicago - Human
Puppets?

East of the area with
the food booths is the area of Grant Park that adjoins the lakefront. From one
of the last booths, where my two librarian companions were sampling grilled
asparagus, I looked past Buckingham
Fountain to a field where I saw these
shapes "floating" above the crowd. I assumed they were giant puppets
when I went in for a closer look. I didn't expect them to be people!

Here you can see a
little bit of how it works. A brace goes up the guys' pantlegs and the girls'
hoop skirts.

A close up of one of the girls, but it didn't come out as good as I hoped.
