Community Event: “What Makes Elgin Township Tick??”
What Makes Elgin Township Tick???
According to Elgin Township Supervisor Ken Bruderle, Elgin Township is home to many social service agencies and service clubs that make Elgin Township a better place to live. To cast a spotlight on them, Elgin Township is hosting a community event on Saturday, August 17th to showcase these organizations’ value, how they can assist residents, and what volunteer opportunities exist to help the organizations.
The event is open between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at the Elgin Township campus at 729 S. McLean Blvd. in Elgin and will include organization information, a volunteer fair, family fun, and food from vendor Dairy Queen.
Family fun includes a MEGA Touch-a-Truck that will allow for an up-close view of an Elgin Township Road District dump truck, emergency vehicles from the city of Elgin’s police and fire departments, the South Elgin and Countryside Fire Protection District, and the Kane County Sheriff, a front loader and snowplow from the Village of South Elgin, a garbage truck from Groot, and a street sweeper from the city of Elgin’s public works department
Kenyon’s Cow is available for selfies (Say, “CHEESE”), and there will be a drawing to crown her with a befitting name. Kids can enjoy the bouncy house and other fun, including face painting.
Those who wonder what Santa does in the summer can ask our Beach Santa in person and get an early jump on getting their wish lists into him, as well as take pictures.
Attendees can try their hands at the “What Makes Elgin Township Tick?” spinning wheel to try to win a tasty prize by correctly answering a township trivia question!
Follow Elgin Township on Facebook and Instagram or call 847-741-2045 for more information.
Rain date is Saturday, August 24th.
