Auction Returns to Long Grove

A couple of decades ago, if you were in the Village of Long Grove on a Thursday night, odds were it was to attend the community auction at the Long Grove Village Tavern. Back then, area residents would show up with their eclectic “treasures” in hand, eat a bit, drink a bit, and often go home with someone else's “treasures” and a few less dollars in their pocket. The auction is back, for one night only, and with a twist – all auction proceeds will go to support the Long Grove Historical Society. The auction will be Thursday evening, June 9th, starting at 7pm and will again be held at the Long Grove Village Tavern, 135 Old McHenry Road, in Long Grove. The event is open to the public and there's no admission or cover charge – you don't have to bring in any “treasure.” If you do have something to donate for the auction, the Historical Society would love to have it.
