LAURA KATAUSKAS/STAFF REPORTER
Megan Popiela and her daughters, Emilia,3, and Anastasia, 9 months, participate in the annual event.
esidents of all ages came out to enjoy the free, two-day celebration, the Island Rendezvous, at the Isle a la Cache Museum last weekend. Girls and boys traveled back in time 300 years to when French voyageurs canoed the Des Plaines River to trade for furs. Rendezvous was a time for voyageurs to celebrate the end of fur trading season. Historic vendors, entertainers, and re-enactors treated visitors to a real glimpse of the lifestyles of the French and Native Americans who lived here three centuries ago. Music, kids crafts, and numerous demonstrations enthralled those at the weekend festival, which is in its 30th year.
