Kudos to Jean Marie for another job well done.  I took the kids to the rally at St. Mary's last night.  After a well-attended short walk through the neigborhood, there were quite a few activities for the kids (a few inflatables, lots of games from the north berwyn park district), good music...

It was good to see so many residents out on a weeknight to take back the night! 

Thanks to Target for the food and refreshments as well.

Reminder:  next week's rally is at Proksa and the following week at Freedom Park...

Cool, I'll be sure to check out the one in Proksa!!

I'll try to stop by the Proksa Park one tonight, too. There was something going on there this past weekend, with loud music, and I thought it might have been the TBTN rally. Apparently it wasn't.

Last Saturday there was a rubber duck race held at Proksa. And yes it was very crowded.
Hope to see you all tonite!

How come we could not find any Berwyn business to donate the hot dogs and refreshments?

Target is a national sponsor of "National Night out" it's part of the deal.

[Artanis1215]

Do we have any city businesses that are participating and donating any items?

[delbowz]

I don't have a flyer in front of me, but I do know that Jean Marie was able to secure several Berwyn sponsors.  As a previous poster said, National Night out is a Target-sponsored event.  We are lucky to have thier $$$ behind our events.

Does anyone know if they will have that burn again this year?  My nephew loved that.

[scoon]

They will be doing the burn at Nat Nite Out again and possibly a few other fun things this year.

Fantastic, We can't wait.  It was a blast last year.  The city did a great job putting it all together.

You know that was a great idea. I e-mailed Debi Suchy at City Hall and she said "Come on down!!" So Over The Rainbow will be at Freedom tonite handing out B-Cake ice cream to the kids. Kinda last minute but its for a good cause. Unfortunately we won't be able to participate in the BIG event at Morton next week because that falls on a DD Cruise Nite and we need all hands at the store. We usually do pretty good business on those events.

Proof positive of the work of the special events people

[truman40]

Absolutley!!
I feel thats one of the things that makes Berwyn so great, all the special events; Block parties, Cruise Nites, Take Back the Night, Duck Races, we have something going on almost every weekend and most of them are free. Unlike other cities where allot of the public events come with a "donation"
