July 21: Wake Up, Barrington!

Patch wants to help make your life easier. So, at the start of every day, we're here to offer you all the information you need.

We've done all the searching for you. All you've got to do is click to get your live, local information. In the event of something out of the ordinary, such as a major crash, Patch editors will update this as quickly and accurately as we are able.

•                Where do I find the lowest gas prices today in Barrington?

•                Show me the live traffic from Barrington to Chicago.

•                Tell me the most recent weather forecast for the area.

Give me a list of today's events. And here's an interesting event Patch calendar editors think you might like:

Help restore local wetlands, woodlands and prairies at the Citizens for Conservation Workday, held weekly at Saturdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at 459 W. Route 22 in Lake Barrington. Encourage native wildlife habitation by collecting seeds from native plants and removing invasive species. Please wear long pants and sturdy shoes and bring work gloves. Children ages 10 and up, teenagers and adults and groups are welcome to join in, no experience required. To register for this workday, visit www.citizensforconservation.org, call 847-382-1300 or email cfc@citizensforconservation.org. 

Is there information you'd like to get every day that we haven't included here? Let Barrington Editor Morgan Delack know, and we'll try our best to include it!
