Community Fest 2009!
Community Fest (formerly GraceFest) is an annual event held at Grace Lutheran Church in Streamwood, IL. Our goal is to provide a fun event that features local businesses and raises money for local charities. While community Fest is held on our church property, the event is open to the public and is intended as a celebration and showcase of the community in which we are located.
An important part of this event is our extensive raffle. We have many generous local businesses that donate prizes, gift certificates, and other special items that we will be raffling off throughout the day. Be sure to puchase tickets, because 100% of the proceeds of this raffle are donated to Backpack Buddies and to Guns-N-Hoses, benefiting our local Police and Fire Dept.
Food, Food, Food!
Be sure to bring your appetite. Several local food vendors will be selling delicious dishes all afternoon. Visitors can pig-out on pizza, hot dogs, burgers, and much more.
There will be plenty of food to please your appetite and satisfy your sweet tooth!
Craft Fair and Business Expo
We have many tables and booths featuring local crafters and vendors. Visitors are able to browse the diverse selection of wares, purchase items, and make important connections to local businesses.
Are you a local crafter that would like to participate in Community Fest? Please contact our church office at (630) 289-3996 for details about signing up.
Kid's Games and activities
We have plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained, including games and activities like face painting, sand art, and much, much more. This event is truly fun for the whole family!
Please Join Us
Don't miss this wonderful event! Mark your calendars for August 22 and come to Community Fest! |
