Windmill City Festival features family fun in Batavia

Batavia

www.windmillcityfest.org BATAVIA — Windmill City Festival has long been a staple of the community and has become a tradition for many families, formerly called Batavia Boo Boo Days until 1978.

The festival had its humble beginnings as a sidewalk sale in 1956. The idea of Boo Boo Days was introduced

by Arthur Swanson of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce. The idea was that downtown merchants would set out clearance items, overstock, or end-of-season goods at deeply discounted prices. As the interest grew, Boo Boo Days started adding refreshments and activities for kids so the adults could shop all day. To make employees and festival officials more recognizable, they were issues hats or dressed in costume to

match the festival’s theme.

Gradually, the focus of the festival moved away from the bargains. In the 1970s, events such as concerts, the crowning of Miss Batavia, community plays, marathons and even competitions, such as the annual Tug of War event, were all held during Boo Boo Days. In 1978, the name was officially changed to “Windmill City Fest” to reflect Batavia’s history and to better encompass the city-wide, multi-day celebration it had become.

Today, the festival runs thanks to the Windmill City Festival Committee, which includes representatives and cooperation from the Batavia Park District, Batavia Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Batavia.

Elburn ‘Bringing Back the Boom’

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Thursday, June 28, 2018

ELBURN — After nearly a 10-year absence, the Elburn Lions Club will again host a fireworks show at Lions Park. To avoid forcing area residents to choose between communities on July 4, as was tradition in Elburn, the fireworks show will be held just after the holiday, this year on Saturday, July 7.

The park will open at 7 p.m., and close at 10 p.m., once the fireworks display concludes.

This year’s theme is “Bringing Back the Boom,” in recognition of the return of the once-annual event. The annual event had been held from 1997 – 2008, as part of an Elburn Day in the Park. The current show is expected to last 20 – 25 minutes. The fireworks provider is Mad Bomber Fireworks Productions of Elgin, Illinois.

The Elburn Lions Club will offer food and non-alcoholic drinks for sale near the viewing area. Attendees are

encouraged to patronize local businesses that will be open prior to and after the show. Non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks will also be sold in the clubhouse, though alcoholic drinks will not be permitted to leave the facility. Alcohol, dogs, guns, coolers and grills are not permitted on the park grounds.

Parking will be available on the west side of Lions Park.

There will be no charge to park on our grounds though a free will offering will be appreciated. Parking in

the neighborhood surrounding Lions Park may be restricted.

The Lions Club of Elburn would like to thank Drew Frasz, the Village of Elburn, the Elburn Police Department, and the Elburn and Countryside Fire Protection District for their valuable support.

St. Charles

Fireworks, fun come to Pottawatomie Park on 4th of July ST. CHARLES — The St. Charles Park District, in cooperation with the city of St. Charles, will host what is widely acknowledged as one of the best fireworks displays around on Wednesday, July 4, at Pottawatomie Park.

The annual production, free to the public, can be best viewed from either Pottawatomie Park or Ferson Creek Park.

Prior to the launch of the first rocket, the band Shout Out will hit the stage at the historic pavilion from 6 p.m. until dark. The band’s set list ranges from the latest Top 40 hits to all-time classics.

And even before that, Pottawatomie Park will be open for

those who want to spend the entire day in the area. The park actually opens at dawn, and picnic tables are available first-come, first-served. In addition, food and refreshments will be available at the River View Miniature Golf concession stand, which closes at 9:15 p.m.

Pottawatomie Park is far more than just fireworks, minigolf, and picnic tables. It features over 90 acres of land, with plenty of things to do and see, from hiking and biking trails to gardens featuring native plants. There are also volleyball courts, baseball fields, and tennis courts, as well as play areas for the younger kids.

SHOW Opens 7 pm

July 7, 2018 at Lions Park Rain Date July 8th Show will begin @ 9:30 pm

Hot dogs, brats, pork chop sandwiches, pop, water and cash bar available for purchase in main club house.
