Bees! If we didn't have our lovely pollinators we wouldn't have the vast majority of the food we eat. Most people think about European honey bees who produce honey as the only bee out there. Well there are many native mason bees in your own back yard. Here is a great resource for learning all about native bees and how to build their habitat. http://resonatingbodies.wordpress.com/community/bee-houses-around-the-world/

We celebrate springtime every year with Spring Out to Sunset, a festival that is all about fun, families, and active living. The theme of this year's event is "A Community on the Grow," and the activities that we are offering encourage trying new things and enjoying unique experiences – from theatre, art and music to fitness, kites and dogs.

This year, Spring Out to Sunset will take place on May 19 at Sunset Hill Farm County Park. Some of the highlights we have planned include a visit from a talented team of dogs that have wowed crowds during NBA and NFL halftime shows, children's workshops and performances by Chicago Street Theatre and Front Porch Music, a community mosaic organized by the Lubeznik Center for the Arts, and a stunt kite team.

The cost is just $5 per car! Bring out the whole family and enjoy this day of active fun!
