Concerts in the Park continues to run as weekly event thanks to sponsors
The weekly Concerts in the Park series that takes place every Sunday at Keogh Park in Tottenham is possible thanks to two organizers and a group of local sponsors who support the event. Every Sunday, an acoustic performer takes the stage and is followed by a band. There are many familiar faces that turn out for the concerts every week. 'I'm still going with trying to promote some original opening acoustic acts – local acts,' explained organizer Dayne Polny, who owns We Love Sound (WLS), a recording studio with live sound engineering near Tottenham. Polny provides sound and concert production services for live venues through WLS. 'We're trying to get some female artists. There's going to be the same format. A lot of music in the parks events don't support local talent, and I would like to keep that as part of our format. We're running nine weeks this year – four in July and five in August. We try to promote a lot of different genres. We have folk, rock, country, we try to mix it up to make everyone happy.' Dayne, along with Robyn Zillmer-Caruana, are the people who make the event happen. It's a lot of work to make sure the concerts go smoothly and to line up the acts. Having sponsors is a big deal to make sure everything happens. 'It's been tough finding funding,' Polny said. 'With Tottenham Community Week not happening this year, it was really important that we have something locally to do. As far as I know, this is the only music in the park event that is not run by the township. It's just me and Robyn who have decided to take it on. We find local businesses to help sponsor us and pay for the bands. The Town gives us some grant money but it only covers half of our costs so we have to find the money from somewhere else.' Sponsors that stepped up to help the Concerts in the Park series include Trevor's Roof Repairs, McGoey Bros. Insurance, Tottenham Home Hardware, Flex N Gate, Trillium Ford, Tottenham Paint and Paper, Tottenham Legion, Roman Empire Events, and We Love Sound Inc. Error!

For more information about Unwind Wednesday, go to The Oswegoland Heritage Association will explore the era between the early 1950s and the early 1980s in the Oswego area during 'Conversations with Farm Kids' on Saturday, July 12, at the historic Little White School Museum, 72 Polk St. in Oswego. Admission is $5, through early registration or at the door, with proceeds benefiting the museum, according to a press release about the event. From the 1950s to the early 1980s, the Oswego area underwent a profound change, event organizers said, with a farming area rapidly changing into a suburb. Oswegoland Heritage Association board member Linda Heap Dean will lead the discussion at the event with a panel of a half-dozen former farm kids who will share stories of their roles on the farm, looking for companionship where the nearest neighbor might have been a mile away and balancing schoolwork with chores. Audience comments and questions will be entertained after the panel discussion. For more information on the program or to register in advance, call the Oswegoland Park District at 630-554-1010 or go to the museum registration page, Kim Eversole, a police officer for the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, has been named a 2025 Illinois Juvenile Officers Association Officer of the Year.

She previously led the department's volunteer Trail Watch program.
