Wilmette Weekend: August 12, 2006

With Labor Day right around the corner, it's time to get around to all those fun things to do that you haven't done yet. Start the morning right at the French Market at the Metra station, where you can stock up on french bread and pastry, fresh fruit, and vegetables. The corn has been delicious lately--hope you have been enjoying some of that. Hours are 8:00-1:00. If you have a complaint, the Listening Post will be open there from 10:00-12:00 with both a Village Trustee and a Village of Wilmette employee ready to hear your concerns.

With tax bills due September 1, a trip to the beach this weekend can ease the pain of settling up with the Cook County Treasurer.

If all your Ravinia Dollars ended up in the gas tank this year, head on down to Gillson Park for some free culture this evening. The well-regarded daCorneto Opera Company is featured at the Wallace Bowl tonight, August 12, 2006, at 8:00 p.m with a show called "A Night at the Opera."
