A Day In Our Village 2024
Welcome back to Scoville Park for the premiere summer event in Oak Park
It is hard to believe that this premier summer event has been celebrated in Oak Park for 50 years. I have had the honor to work with a great core group of volunteers and Village of Oak Park and Park district liaisons to help bring this event to you today. We have a lot of fun additions for you to celebrate our 50-year anniversary of A Day In Our Village. We are happy to announce that we are bringing back the Foam. Ever since Cory Kohut started on our committee many years ago, he talked about his fond memories of playing in the foam at the fire station during past Day in our Village
festivals. His desire was to bring back the foam that we all loved playing in as kids! Well, it finally happened, The Park District of Oak Park will be in the middle of Scoville Park with foam cannons to help create these fun experiences for the next generations.
Another new item we are adding is a Youth Activity Area. We are closing down Ontario Street to vehicles from Oak Park Avenue to Grove Ave. This will now be an additional space for youth and family’s to extend the fun zone. Local churches and Children’s groups have been working with our committee to bring some fun activities including inflatable bounce houses.
Greg Kolar has been working feverishly to find spaces for over 120 local businesses and organizations promoting their services in Scoville Park on Sunday June 2. Cory Kohut has lined up some great restaurants and local delicacies in our food court adjacent to the library patio. We could not
have a fun “Day” without some great live music! Chris Edwards has been searching high and low to find a great variety of tunes to keep you moving and grooving all day long. And Bev Smith has been recruiting volunteers to help make set-up fast and easy. I’m so lucky to be surrounded by so many great volunteers that have been dedicating their time to make this event special for so many years.
Now, we just need one more thing, YOU! Please come out on Sunday and visit with your friends, neighbors, and elected officials. All while having a blast in the Foam, jamming to the tunes and tasting all that Oak Park has to offer.
Sincerely, Michael Stewart Day in Our Village
