Rolling Meadows continue 60th festivities with food, music

Rolling Meadows began celebrating its 60th anniversary with a cake-cutting on Feb. 26, the day Rolling Meadows was incorporated in 1955. Officials honored businesses and residents who have been a part of the city from the beginning.

Other events since then have included an ice cream social and Wine-Down By the Creek, an evening of wine, music and food trucks.

Events still to come, subject to change, include a Saturday, July 18, Community Center Parking Lot Party at 3705 Pheasant Drive, an August ice cream social in Waverly Park, a senior lunch in September, and a Dec. 3 City Tree Lighting and Spaghetti Dinner.

The city also has put up customized streetlight banners highlighting the anniversary and chosen an anniversary vehicle sticker designed by a student. Commemorative items such as garden flags, coffee mugs and coasters are for sale at city hall.

"There's a lot to celebrate," said Lori Ciezak, assistant to the city manager, who is serving as point person for the celebration.
