Block Party!
Last week’s block party was full of fun for the whole
family. From the tricycle races to face
painting, good food to great dance moves, the evening was action packed. We even had a visit from the Chicago Police
Department who brought along two mounted police officers and a SWAT team. This evening could not have happened with out
the work of the Block Party Committee and the many volunteers who donated their
time, energy, and wonderful food to the event.
Thanks to everyone who helped support this community wide event.
