All Are Welcome to Enjoy “What Makes Elgin Township Tick?” Saturday, August 15th! Includes Food For Greater Elgin Dunk Tank Dignitary Fundraiser!
According to Elgin Township Supervisor Vern Tepe, Elgin Township is home to many social service agencies and service clubs that make Elgin Township a better place to live. To cast a spotlight on them, Elgin Township is hosting a FREE community event on Saturday, August 15th to showcase the value of nearly 30 of these organizations, how they can assist residents, what volunteer opportunities exist to help the organizations, and social service and driver/delivery job opportunities.
Rain date is August 22nd.
The event is open between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at the Elgin Township campus at 729 S. McLean Blvd. in Elgin and will include organization information, a volunteer fair, a pet adoption fair, family fun, and food from vendor Dairy Queen.
New this year is a dunk tank dignitary fundraiser for Food For Greater Elgin! For $5 for 3 tries, you can try to dunk Township Trustee Ed Hanson, City Councilmen Corey Dixon and Anthony Ortiz, Food For Greater Elgin CEO Andre Diez, and Elgin Township political organization chairmen Ed Rzeppa (D) and David Teas (R). For $10 for 3 throws, you can try to dunk Elgin Township Supervisor and Kane County Board Member Vern Tepe. All funds collected will be donated to Food For Greater Elgin to help them with the increased demand caused by reductions or losses of SNAP benefits for some households and the continued increases in food prices. All dunk tank donors will receive a free Brittain’s car wash while supplies last.
Family fun includes “an incredibly MEGA” 15-vehicle Touch-a-Truck that will allow for an up-close view of a MEGA assortment of vehicles, including an Elgin Township Road District dump truck and mini-front loader, emergency vehicles from the city of Elgin’s police and fire departments and the South Elgin and Countryside Fire Protection District and the village of South Elgin, a front loader and snowplow from the Village of South Elgin, a garbage truck from Groot, a street sweeper from the city of Elgin’s public works department, an Ozinga cement truck, and a U-46 mini-bus. ADDITIONALLY, the U.S. Postal Service will be showcasing their new “Ugly Duck Mail Truck” – the newest delivery vehicle model!
There is also an expanded vintage car show coordinated by JP Car Shows, but those vehicles are “Look, but don’t touch!”
An Elgin Township cow will be available for selfies (Say, “CHEESE”), and there will be a drawing to crown her with a befitting name. Kids can enjoy the HUGE EPD bouncy house, as well as fall in love with a cat or dog at the pet adoption fair from Fur Keeps Animal Rescue.
Attendees can try their hands at the “What Makes Elgin Township Tick?” spinning wheel to try to win a tasty prize by correctly answering a township trivia question! Players who complete their Elgin Township Event Bingo card are eligible to enter the drawing for some great prizes.
Information will also be available about Elgin Township’s new Community Solar Program that gives Elgin Township residents an opportunity to save up to 15% on electricity costs – up to 20% for those on government assistance!
