BACK TO SCHOOL PICNIC The Westchester Park District’s Back to School Picnic was a huge success thanks to all of the sponsors, vendors, participants and volunteers. Families were able to fill their bellies with hot dogs, popcorn, ice cream, sandwich samples, fruit and more while walking the grounds. Face painting, balloon animals, picnic games, magic show, interactive vendor booths, getting excited about science show, touch a truck, and so much more entertained the crowd for three hours on a breezy Sunday, September 9th. Families were able to participate in IL CHIP, a comprehensive program offered by the local Masons lodge of Western Springs, where everything is put together for parents in the event that there was a need to help authorities find their lost child. Local Superintendent, Principle, Police Officer and park district Recreation Supervisor volunteered their time under the reverse dunk tank, bringing much laughter and smiles from both children and adults alike. Each September the park district celebrates the beginning of another school year with friends, family and community and hopes to continue the tradition for years to come.
