We are doing our 20th garden walk in mid-June this year, called Garden Gait at the Heritage Museum in downtown Lisle. In 2022 Garden Gait is on June 12. All members participate and it is by far our largest, most fun event of the year!

I was happy to be reminded that this is an annual event when I got a postcard in the mail the other…read moreday. I'll definitely be walking again. The CCFA has an annual walk in several parts of Chicago and the suburbs. Last year, I participated in the walk on June 3 in Naperville at the Riverwalk in support of a friend who had passed from complications. The walk itself was surprisingly short. I guess it was a 3k or 5k, but it passed so quickly. Most of the time was spent socializing and visiting booths who sponsored the event. Food was supplied by local vendors like Q BBQ and Home Run Inn pizza. It was also easy to register online and sign in and get our t-shirts at the event. CCFA is extremely thankful for any donations. We had a "kiss jar" at our wedding that held donations for CCFA. Clinking glasses were ignored. Donations got a kiss. I encourage anyone to do this in remembrance of a friend or family member who has passed or currently suffering from these diseases. I mailed in my check and promptly received a postcard tax receipt. I'm giving this organization, and their walk, five stars because anyone can participate in this walk. It isn't a marathon, but a nice way to remember those special to you and support a great cause.

Cost was higher this year ($20 per car suggested donation; donations benefit the Mooseheart Child…read moreCity and School) but worth it because they have more lights! Plus there aren't that many drive-through things to do out there in the world, so in a time of social distancing this is worth knowing about. There isn't the Silly Moose game this year, but you can drop a letter to Santa in the mailbox at the end of the ride, so come prepared! Rune 5-9 pm through the end of the year. A charming holiday tradition for a good cause.

As you about to enter it says free but when you get closer they stop you and ask $10 per car. I was so disappointed because even the flyers say free to public and yet they demand $10 dollars. Ok I was ok let me pay since there is no way for me to back up and say no thank you. I really enjoyed the scatted lights and the cars in front of YIU that drive with lights off people hanging out of the cars taking pictures very scary and dangerous. Be warned about the dangers of the people that drive with passengers hanging out of the cars videotaping. Not fun. I guess between the lights and the dumb people hanging out of the cars it was like what did I get my self into plus I had to pay for stress. Merry Christmas

This is a nice little community event and it has a great turnout. I came by myself this past fall,…read morebut next year I'll bring my daughter with me since she loves pancakes. It's held at the presbyterian church, which isn't a bad location. There's a large parking lot across the street to the east to hold plenty of pancake fans. It's also nice that their dining room is on the first floor--this church is very labyrinthine. I was seated with a group that seemed clearly to know one another, and later I realized was a group of Park Ridge police officers including the chief. He was nice, introducing himself and making small talk. The Key Club members were here in force to serve beverages and stuff. I saw one member who I've seen at least three events, so it's cool that it's such an active club with dedicated members. The food was good and it was a nice cause to support. They also had a silent raffle, if I recall correctly, though I didn't participate. They had an entertainer there who goes by the stage name Smarty Pants. He's a balloon artist and his creations were incredible. He was also a funny guy. He's great at what he does and might actually do it as his sole job, so you should follow on Instagram to see which library or event he's at. I left with a cute little balloon "doll" for my toddler and she loved it. Unless something precludes me I'll be looking forward to next year's Kiwanis breakfast. And I'll hope to see you there!
