Well, our voices are a litte hoarse, our feet a little swollen and our backs a little sore...but we would do it all again. Lots of info coming in the next few days and we will be reaching out to raffle winners tomorrow. Today we're resting, but will leave you with a few pics of a really wonderful day. We thank ALL of you for making this so successful!

Kicking it into high gear! Last logistics meeting with these great folks. They've been behind the scenes for months, supporting, encouraging and helping at every turn! This would not be possible without our friends at On The Rocks! Thank you, Robert Sobol, Kristen Vedder and Jamie Artelt!!

Friends, you've read this before on our page...It Takes A Village! Less than 24hours after putting it out there, that there was a sponsorship opportunity for our 3rd tent...another fantastic Waukegan business reached out! Thank you to our friends at Booners Place for their generosity! They have graciously offered to cover the ENTIRE cost of our 3rd large tent! Thank you Aaron Chervin!!
One more piece of good news, the weather is trending in the right direction and temperatures are increasing and rain is decreasing!!
Mother nature has no idea of the power of the people from Waukegan!!
When we say; It takes a village, we mean it. We COULD NOT do this without you!!

🚨Rain or shine the show must go on!🚨
Big News!
In the event of a few raindrops we will be covered! Nearly the entire grounds of On The Rocks will be tented (with multiple tents similar to this) for our event! We have faith that the rain will stay away, ☘️ but we are prepared to stay dry. We are so grateful to Marlene Jablonski Leonard and JACKS TENTS, INC. in Waukegan for jumping in and not only helping, but DONATING the entire cost of one tent and for our friends Robert Sobol and Jamie Artelt at On The Rocks covering the ENTIRE cost of a second tent! Let your friends and neighbors know, the show is going on and we are looking forward to seeing all of you!
If you or someone you know would like to cover the cost of the third tent, we would gladly make you a sponsor of this important event. DM Daniel Sivia or Emily Sivia with questions
