Spring Out to Sunset Coming May 19!

Spring-Out-to-Sunset-2012Festival to celebrate "A Community on the Grow"

Spring is one of our favorite times of year. The weather gets warmer, people shed their winter coats, and families and friends meet at the park to enjoy nature and each other.

We celebrate this seasonal transformation every year with Spring Out to Sunset, a festival that is all about fun, families, and active living. The theme of this year's event is "A Community on the Grow," and the activities that we are offering encourage trying new things and enjoying unique experiences - from theatre, art and music to fitness, kites and dogs.

This year, Spring Out to Sunset will take place on May 19, 2012, 10 am to 3 pm at Sunset Hill Farm County Park. This date is significant because it is also National Kids to Parks Day. We can't wait to see kids enjoying our park with their families.

Some of the highlights we have planned for this year include a visit from a talented team of dogs that have wowed crowds during NBA and NFL halftime shows, children's workshops and performances by Chicago Street Theatre and Front Porch Music, a community mosaic organized by Lubeznik Center for the Arts, and a stunt kite team.

More info on this amazing festival will become available in the coming months. Mark your calendars for May 19 now!
