Streamwood Summer Celebration
A Success
A Success
We've just completed our tenth annual appearance at the Streamwood Summer Celebration's Business Expo sponsored by the Streamwood Chamber of Commerce.
The Summer Celebration runs the last weekend of July each year and is well attended. The weather cooperated with a variety of temperatures with the rain occurring before the start of the fair on Friday. Saturday was mild and humid, but that didn't prevent crowds from attending the event. Sunday was warmer and more humid, but there still was a breeze keeping the expo tent comfortable.
In addition to show-casing local businesses in the expo tent, there were plenty of activities for families. Local bands performed throughout the weekend, there was a parade on Saturday with over 100 entries this year, rides for the children and young at heart, bingo, face-painting, ice cream eating content for the children and lots more. Many volunteers from the village make this a special event each and every year.
Lots of Interest in Land & Sea Vacations
We spoke to many couples, families, and individuals that were interested in getting away for a vacation. As usual, we had a large supply of brochures, which we call "wish books" on hand. One of the most popular brochures was the Royal Caribbean Quantum-class brochure which highlights this marvelous new cruise ship class that has everything you can imagine including bumper cars.
Unfortunately, I couldn't talk with everyone personally this year because I was splitting my time between my booth and making announcements on stage. Many of you spoke with my husband Gary, who has as much knowledge about the various vacation options as I do. We love talking to people about our more than 30 years of cruise and other vacation experiences.
