'Scott Darling Day', Stanley Cup Arrival Set for June 29

Chicago Blackhawks fans in Lemont won’t have to wait much longer to see their beloved hometown hero Scott Darling—and the Stanley Cup.

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Scott Darling will bring the Stanley Cup to his hometown for viewing tomorrow, Monday, June 29, from 2 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. The viewing will take place at The CORE building at the Lemont Park District, 16028 W. 127th St.

A line to enter The CORE Building for viewing/photos will begin at The CORE entrance, and extend south through the softball fields. Those not wanting to enter the building for viewing are welcome to await on the park grounds for a view of Scott and the Cup as they parade through the entrance. This entrance viewing is expected to begin between 12:15-12:35, at the Old Quarry entrance, to the Park District main entrance and down through the back softball fields.

From the Village:

Please understand that very limited parking is available at the Park District lots, so we ask that those within walking distance plan to walk to the event, and those driving should car pool. In addition, in preparation for a chance of heavy rain or severe weather, line waiters will receive a ticket upon arrival in line. If it is determined line waiters should take shelter in their vehicles, this ticket will allow you to regroup in line in the order you were originally in when clearance to return is issued.

Although every effort will be made to accommodate the public and maintain traffic, we cannot predict the extent of the crowd or number of vehicles. Your utmost cooperation is imperative for a fun and safe event. Lemont Police Officers and Park District staff will be available throughout the grounds to direct you and answer any questions.
