Venetian Night set for Aug. 1 in Fox Lake
Fox Lake's Venetian Night, "A Zombie Apocalypse On the Chain," is set for Saturday, Aug. 1, in front of Docker's Restaurant on Grand Avenue. The block party will kick off at 6 p.m., followed by the boat parade and fireworks. Admission to the street party is free, but there is a $25 fee to enter a boat in the boat parade. This is the 8th year of the boat parade, and it is funded by donations from Fox Lake, local businesses and surrounding communities. A cash prize of $500 is given to the winner of the boat parade, officials said. A fundraising event was held July 15 at Dockers Restaurant that generated more than $20,000, organizers said. The Fox Lake Venetian Night committee continues to look for funds for the fireworks. To donate to Venetian Night, email foxlakevenetiannight@yahoo.com or call (847) 587-3944.
