Lisle Park District issued the following announcement on Jan. 11.
Keep those winter blues away by taking advantage of the activities and events Lisle Park District has planned this season!
While it seems we experienced a bit of a mild start to 2019, we’ve got our fingers crossed for at least one good snowfall before spring! When we get some packing snow, get outside and share photos of your best snowman or snow sculpture by sending a picture of you and your creation, along with your phone number and address, to Laura at lcavazos@lisleparkdistrict.org. Submissions will be separated into two categories: ‘Classic Snowman’ and ‘Snow Sculpture,’ so get creative! This contest is open to Lisle Park District residents of all ages; winner will receive a plaque with your snowman photo. Let’s hope Mother Nature comes through – we can’t wait to see your work!
What’s better than dinner and a show? How about a night of mystery, allure, and espionage? You’re invited to a dinner to die for – Mystery Dinner Theatre Fundraiser! Ages 21 and up are invited to join us in the 1950’s New York home of billionaire philanthropist Harrison Van Horn, where Harrison’s son Nick will embark on a journey that will shake the family to its core. You can choose to help the detective solve a crime or just sit back and watch the mystery unfold. Costumes are encouraged but not required. The adventure takes place Saturday, February 9 at the Lisle Recreation Center at 1925 Ohio Street in Lisle. The night will begin with a cocktail hour at 6pm followed by dinner and the show at 7pm. Registration is open through January 21 by calling 630-964-3410 or visiting lisleparkdistrict.org. The resident/nonresident fee is $40/$60 and includes the show and dinner. Alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.
On Saturdays in February, The Museums at Lisle Station Park at 921 School Street in Lisle welcome all ages to attend the Chicago Author Series – free, thought-provoking discussions about Chicago’s regional history with local authors and those who write about it. Authors from around Chicagoland will address their books in a fun, informal fashion beginning at 1pm. February 2 will feature Matthew Galik, author of The 1926 Orland Park Murder Mystery, a true account of the 1926 murder of Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Walter Fisher, as well as the Inland Steel Mail Heist that occurred the same day. On February 9, Bryan J. Ogg will discuss his book Naperville: A Brief History, which offers a springboard to the 187-year narrative of Naperville. Kenneth Knack will present his book Images of America: River Grove on February 16. The series ends with David Sadowski and a discussion on Building Chicago’s Subways on February 23.
