Police services on agenda
The Hainesville village board will hold a special meeting at 1 p.m. today at the village hall, 100 N. Hainesville Road, to discuss police services. The board also plans to discuss advertising for consultants and staffing as well as the letter agreement between the villages of Hainesville and Round Lake Park. Currently, Hainesville pays the village of Round Lake Park for its police services, but conflict arose earlier this year after Round Lake Park claimed Hainesville had not paid a fair share of the cost and discussed possible litigation.
Santa takes the river
Santa Claus will make another trip down the Fox River Saturday. He will cruise the lower Fox River in the Crazy Town Houseboat, which will be all decked out for the holiday season. His run will begin at Port Barrington Bar and Grill at 5 p.m. at 99 Kazimour Drive in Barrington. He will leave after meeting children and head up river before docking for the night at Kief's Reef at 3505 S. Wright Road in McHenry at 9 p.m. Santa will make stops at a number of establishments open along the way. Kids of all ages are welcome at all the stops. Also, people are being asked to donate an unwrapped toy for McHenry County Tots at any of the above locations. Due to ice conditions in the locks and on the upper river in McHenry, Santa will not be able to head north.
