On July 1st, the George C. Young Federal Annex Courthouse in Orlando, FL held the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence celebration. I got the privilege of photographing the event. They had Hot Dogs from Hot Dog Heaven (a local staple here in Orlando), Popcorn, Coffee from Lineage Coffee Roasting, and performances by the Central Florida Jazz Society and the Orlando Family Stage. Part of the event was also the making of a Time Capsule that will be opened in the year 2076.

I captured details, families, the performances, the time capsule items, and even a Photo Booth with props they had set up. I had a great time eating hot dogs and capturing the event.

Here's some of what I captured.
