A Something for Everyone Family Fun Weekend is Just Around the Corner

This weekend is full of excitement and fun and the best part is that it takes place just steps from home.

Take the kids for an afternoon of skating races, figure skater exhibitions, and barrel jumping, or sit for a while and enjoy The Sound of Music.

If technology and sea creatures are your thing, then pile the family into the car and head for Milwaukee.

Dads and daughters can spend some quality time dancing the night away at a sock hop, while moms and sons can pop some corn and rent an action movie.  There’s never a dull moment in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff if you look to Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Patch to help fill your weekend with fun.
