The Palatine Park Foundation will be hosting their annual fundraiser, 2015 Casual Cocktails. The Tailgate Party is on Monday, October 26 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This event will be held at Durty Nellie's Restaurant, 180 N. Smith Street, Palatine. The ticket cost of $50 includes one free cocktail and a wide selection of appetizers. Raffles and a silent auction will also take place during the event. Notre Dame's Johnny Lattner will be attending this year's Tailgate Party and his Heisman Trophy will be there for photo opportunities. All event proceeds will benefit the Foundation Scholarship Program which provides financial assistance to Palatine Park District residents who cannot afford to participate in the District's various athletic, recreational, and social programs.
