The generosity of local business owners will be in full bloom
this month, as boys and girls from Clearing, Garfield Ridge and other neighborhoods will be treated to one last summer party before children go back to school.
Several thousand children, their parents and grandparents are expected to gather in the west parking lot at Kennedy High School, 56th and Narragansett, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20.
The first 1,500 children in attendance will receive a new book bag and school supplies. All children will be treated to free food and beverages--all while supplies last. There also will be music, a bouncy house, pony rides, as well as visits by costumed characters, the Batmobile, a vintage firetruck and more.
The back-to-school celebration—launched back in 2018--is the brainchild of Geno Randazzo, owner of All Exterior Contractors.
Signing on as a platinum co-sponsor is the Belt Railway Company of Chicago. Other co-sponsors include the Garfield Ridge Chamber of Commerce, Midway Storage, First Rate Realty, Mike Riordan State Farm Agency, Amigo Pest Control and several other local businesses and elected officials.
