French Market in Western Springs

Today, Thursday from 2-7.....I think it is going to be a lovely day. I have picked up wonderful breads there, beautiful flowers, fruits and vegetables. Today I may just go look at jewelry for myself! Every Thursday through October. Remember the Water Tower is open during French Market. If you have never taken your kids through it how about today???

Friday, June 26th Gathering on the Green in Western Springs

Hurry on over to the Water Tower in downtown Western Springs this Friday night from 5-10pm. One of the nicest summer festivals in the area. Bands, food vendors, rides and more. Stop at Hillgrove Wine Cellars on the corner for a free wine tasting. Fun for the whole family.

This event is brought to you by the Western Springs Business Association(I am a member). We use the money raised to give local students scholarships. This year we gave 6 scholarships to students who work for members of the WSBA. Come meet them!
