La Grange Celebrates a Birthday!
Date:
August 8, 2019
Event Description:
The Village of La Grange is turning 140, and you're invited to the party! Join the fun at outside Village Hall with local elected officials and civic leaders who will cut a giant replica birthday cake created by ARACELY'S BAKERY...it looks just like Village Hall! And sing "happy birthday" to La Grange.
There will be balloons and tattoos for children and a drawing to win $100 in La Grange Business Association gift certificates. A vintage classic car and over-sized balloon arch will be on display for photo opportunities. The LA GRANGE HISTORICAL SOCIETY will have a fun tent.
The birthday party kicks off a month of fun promotions celebrating the Village’s 140th anniversary from August 8 -- September 8:
