From @barringtonsfinest :
It’s time for our annual National Night Out, Thursday, Aug. 7, where you’ll have the chance to meet and mingle with Barrington’s finest. This family-friendly event is packed with activities that everyone will enjoy – and best of all, everything is FREE!

This year, we’re excited to introduce a Go-Kart track, sponsored by Motor Werks of Barrington. Feel the thrill of the race and the wind in your hair as you zoom around the track. But that’s not all! Prepare for a splash with Water Wars and step into a world of virtual reality with the Mobile Extreme Gaming bus. 

We’re also thrilled to have the Rapid Relief Team of North America providing free burger meals, complete with a cookie, chips, water, and soft drinks. So, come hungry and leave happy! 

Safety is our priority, and we’re grateful to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital for providing free bike helmets. 

Don’t forget to stop by the Target booth for games, prizes, and tons of fun! Plus, Home Depot will be offering free woodworking kits for kids, so little builders can take and make their very own creations. So, mark your calendars and join us for a night of community, fun, and food. We can’t wait to see you there!
We are so excited for local Barrington author Lisa M Petrongelli‘s new children’s book, “Comfortable in Her Shell”! 

This gentle, inspiring story follows Squishy, a thoughtful little tortoise who teaches power lessons: self-love, body positivity and kindness towards others. 
Whether you’re a parent, teacher,  or supportive family member for someone who believes in nurturing emotional well-being in children, I’d love you to join me in spreading this heartfelt books messages. 

Join Lisa for this FREE, FUN, and uplifting event - please our jumbo tortoises will be at the Barrington White House - hope to see you all on August 17!
