Visit the Harvest Market in Algonquin tomorrow... And don't forget to visit the Downtown Algonquin Association / Main Street booth to buy ducks, earn prizes during the duck pond sponsored by Lucky Strike Entertainment, and find the 8 decorated ducks hidden around town. See comments for a sneak peek of one of the decorated ducks.

Funny story of how I turned off the main street I was on and found this fine lady on the side of the street near a trash pick up location. I just had to take her home and find a place for her in the garden at The _Algonquin_House. I think she needs a goddess name … any suggestions?

This may be one of my favorite improvements at . Had this area opened up to access the path and see the concerts in Towne Park. First concert is June 11. Stop by for food and drinks that night!

This was 5 years ago today! I’ve been hard at work on renovations and want to get this place open for business within the next 12 months.
