The village of Palatine will consider adding new activities to better engage young people ages 16-20 during Palatine Street Fest 2013.
In addition to approving the many details to allow planning for Palatine Street Fest 2013 to move forward, the Village of Palatine will consider the possibility of adding new activities and entertainment for attendees 16 to 20 years of age for this year's event. According to a village memo on the proposition, this age group tends to ‘congregate’ on the west side of the Street Fest parameters, and ideas on how to provide more events aimed at drawing them in have been explored over the last several years. The possibilities include adding a second and smaller stage in Lot 14, according to the memo, which is located north of Towne Square.

Village dogs – all kinds of them – march through downtown.
More than 75 dogs in every conceivable shape, size and variety marched through downtown Palatine Sunday during the Sweet Pea Pet Parade as part of the Street Fest activities. Led by a Palatine Police golf cart, the parade gave owners a chance to show off their animals, including, a Great Dane, twin chocolate Labradors, a Great Pyrenees, an English Bulldog and a Pit Bull dressed in a tutu. Alissa DePue, owner of the Pit Bull, who answers to the name of Stella Luna, said she dressed the pup in a tutu so people could see that all Pit Bulls are not mean. “She is dainty,” DePue said. “She is everything that is anti-Pit Bull.” Apparently in a move to spruce up their pets, many owners dressed their dogs in colorful bandannas. One owner even …

How about a dance-off or kareoke? Or daytime activities like wheelbarrow, potato sack races, bags, etc. Kids should pre-register as a team and possibly even pay a small fee to enter. As far as music goes, probably just a DJ...or maybe a battle-of-the-bands. more ›
