Hoffman Estates Park District turns 50
The Hoffman Estates Park District threw a Party in the Park Saturday evening to celebrate the successes in the district's first half century.
The event ran from 4 to 10 p.m. at Highpoint Park, 1704 Glen Lake Road. It included food and entertainment, games and crafts for kids, music and dancing. The band Exit 147 was scheduled to play a rock 'n' roll-based journey through the park district's 50-year history later in the evening.
