Will there still be a pet parade?

Hi Rae,
The Pet Parade has been move to the Halloween Extravaganza, which will be held Friday, Oct 26. Since most people put costumes on their animals, the organizers thought it would go better with the Halloween event.

49-0? OOOOOUCH!

I noticed there is not a wrist band day for kids. Am I wrong ?
That's one thing my kids really look forward to. If its a cost cutting thing, I
Understand and respect that. But if it's just the carnival people wanting the same money
For less service, that's a whole different story.

What does this event cost The City of Yorkville ?

Does it actually bring revenue in? It's quite a lengthy event.

Oh .....Just say the wrist band day. Read this thw first time while waiting in line at Home Depot!

Wristband information: Thursday 5-9 p.m., $1 rides, with a $10 min purchase.
Sat. & Sun, 1-5 p.m., $20 unlimited wristband ride special each day.

Just saw a couple weather forecasts. One shows nice, dry weather for the event. One showed a washout because of Issac. It is so hard to plan because of the variableness of our weather. I wonder which scenario will occur?

are there no fireworks this year?

Coordinators said since the festival is going an hour later (11 p.m.), they did not want to shoot fireworks and disrupt residents at a late evening hour. Instead of fireworks, they have added a free family BMX bicycle stunt show that will run four times on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

Another Hometown Days reminder: The Citizens Police Academy Alumni will hold their annual Duck Pluck fundraiser at 4 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are 1 for $3, or 2 for $5. First prize is $500 and second is $250.

Another Hometown Days reminder: The Yorkville Junior Women's Club craft show is still on (despite some unpleasant weather forecasts). They'll be in Town Square Park, rain or shine, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
