| 1st annual fish picnic-Sunday July 26th 2009 at Willow Springs woods Posted: 6/30/2009 8:02:20 PM | This may sound like a dumb question but hey, I'm a blonde so I can ask all I want! Anyway, what about alcohol? In some forest preserves it's forbidden. Actually my name means "rebellious" so I've been known to break the rules...... a lot, but I don't want to cause trouble for the group. So, "Drinks" means w/ or without alcohol? Also, I will bring an appetizer or dessert to share with everyone. NO, not "those" kind of brownies!!!! I'm a "good" girl!! ( ) Hey, I'm a Gemini! I can't help it!!! | |

| 1st annual fish picnic-Sunday July 26th 2009 at Willow Springs woods Posted: 6/30/2009 9:15:57 PM | | "To the Blonde who ask about the alcohol question" and the answer is "Yes, you can bring alcohol into the forest preserves as long as no minors under 21 is being served alcohol". I've been to many picnics in forest preserves where you can bring in alcohol..kegs, cans, bottles etc but alcohol containers must be disposed in the garbage cans...no littering of alcohol. Cops will check forest preserves from time to time to see if their is underage drinking. | |

| 1st annual fish picnic-Sunday July 26th 2009 at Willow Springs woods Posted: 6/30/2009 9:29:42 PM | Hi all Yes drinking is allowed in the preserves.. Cannot be within 50 feet of the roadway!

| 1st annual fish picnic-Sunday July 26th 2009 at Willow Springs woods Posted: 6/30/2009 9:36:13 PM | | I asked about alcohol because I didn't know what county this forest preserve is in. ( I guess I could have looked it up!) My county doesn't allow alcohol or dogs w/out permits. I'm not sure if Molly, my Rat Terrier, will join me. She's pretty hyper & thinks she's 100 lbs instead of 10 lbs! | |

| 1st annual fish picnic-Sunday July 26th 2009 at Willow Springs woods Posted: 7/2/2009 6:04:49 AM | | "Tammy".....You can purchase tickets at the Toyota Park ticket counters...only $10.00 to see 4 bands...2 local and 2 well-known rock and roll bands of the past. In the evening either Billy Squier or Starship with Mickey Thomas should be staring somewhere around 7:00PM-7:30PM with the other band following about 9:00PM. Tammy..remember that song by Starship called "Find your way back to your heart" and also their song "We built this City on Rock N Roll". Those are 2 big hits that they will sing plus others. It should be a great time at this Bridgeview Music fest on Friday July 3 at Toyota Park which is located at 7100 S. Harlem. The 1st local band starts at 3:00PM and the gates open to the fest at 1:00PM. Everybody is welcome, so I hope to see some familiar faces there. Jim. | |

| 1st annual fish picnic-Sunday July 26th 2009 at Willow Springs woods Posted: 7/2/2009 7:24:01 AM | I saw Heart at Ribfest a year or so ago. They are just as great as ever! I was supposed to be taking clients out to view homes tonight but they had to cancel. But I admit...I have been doing everything and going everywhere alone for about 7 or 8 years now. And it is getting old. So we shall see if I am up for it this weekend or not. | |

| 1st annual fish picnic-Sunday July 26th 2009 at Willow Springs woods Posted: 7/2/2009 8:19:10 PM | I would love to see Jefferson Starship! My very 1st concert was Jefferson Airplane at the Broadmore Hotel in Colorado Springs. I was 12 & went by myself! My mom dropped me off & picked me up.
As for Super-soakers, ice water & women in T-shirts at the at the picnic, just remember guys, the women could get even & you know what happens to your "special parts" when they are doused in ice water! Water balloons don't do as much damage but you have to be sure to pick up all the pieces.
It sounds like it will be a lot of fun! I'm going to try to talk my 26 year old daughter into coming.
