Lindenfest runs through Sunday

Pageant contests danced to "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" to open Lindenfest Thursday on grounds of village hall.

The annual festival in Lindenhurst, which runs through Sunday, features a food court, live music, carnival rides, bingo and the Mayor's auction.

"We are going to start the big parties on Friday night. We have some really great bands," said Lindsay Tatgenhorst, Lindenfest Board committee member. "The people really enjoy it and look forward to it. I look forward to the music, and the crowds dancing."

Live music acts will entertain festivalgoers starting with Chason' Mason and The Lounge Puppets Friday; The Big Al Wetzel Band, The Gooroos and Project 3:13 Saturday; and the Battle of the Bands Sunday.

The annual Lindenfest parade steps off at 10:30 a.m. Saturday; the theme is "Dancin' in the Streets."

Other activities include face painting, balloon sculpting, a bags tournament, a hula hoop contest and bingo. For details, visit lindenhurstil.org.
