I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend – It was a beautiful long weekend – something we’re not used to.  Grills were going all weekend and the sounds of families gathering together punctuated the point that Summer is here! 

There are so many things to do this summer – weddings, graduations, birthdays all have their spots on our calendar.  Pools are open but I wanted to let you know that the South Park Pool will be closed from June 1 to mid-June for maintenance. To accommodate South Park’s pre-season hours, the Centennial Wading Pool will be open at 10am during this maintenance.

Also – here is a quick list of events coming up in Park Ridge:

Enjoy the weather and congrats to all the 2010 graduates!

Always looking for something to do, I stumbled across another great website for Park Ridge that has an easy-to-use calendar with activities, coupons, professional directories, arts and more.  Here it is.

Here’s a great website with a calendar of events for Park Ridge as well info on municipal/community meetings. 

This weekend there are events for infants/small children, a Rock Band tournament and a Dr. Suess musical at Maine East.  There’s an Irish Fest on Sunday as well as an Indoor Famer’s market and an orchestra all within Park Ridge.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
