Hoover Forest Preserve

The Roaming Readers Walking Club is a group of book lovers who just love to get out in the fresh air, get some exercise, spend some time with nature, and chat about books with like-minded folks.
The group does not read a book each month like a typical book club, instead, they just share what they've been reading and what they like while taking a leisurely stroll through the woods at Hoover Forest Preserve.
We meet at Hoover Forest Preserve (11285 W Fox Rd, Yorkville) in the first parking lot (closest to Fox Rd - before you cross the railroad tracks) and walk from there.
 Weather permitting. Check with the library the day before if there is rain or excessive ice.

At Misfit, the encouragement of autonomy and the cultivation of community is what we're all about. When you take classes with your instructor, you are directly supporting a local, small business...Theirs! 
 
The instructors offer an array of services seven days a week such as aerial classes for kids to adults, pole classes, workshops, aerial flow, parties, and more. This provides you the opportunity of freedom to schedule classes that work within your busy schedule.
