A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR PEKAU

As summer comes to a close, I hope the Village of Orland Park made available programs and events that helped you to create memorable experiences with family and friends. The Village’s Fall Recreation & Parks Program Guide highlights more great opportunities to engage in a variety of activities, programs and special events. For starters, we hope you’ll join us at Centennial Park West for the final concert of the season featuring The Ron Burgundy’s, Big Bang Baby and Iris. Please join us for a great night of music. The annual Brewfest featuring a selection of over 50 beers, a full dinner, games and entertainment takes place on September 16. The Great Pumpkin Party, on October 7, features fall-themed children’s activities including a pumpkin patch, pony and wagon rides and children’s games. Stay active by participating in the great fitness offerings at the Sportsplex and the Orland Park Health and Fitness Center. Enjoy Pilates, Fitness Bootcamp, Tread to Shred, and a variety of seven yoga classes at the Sportsplex. Head over to the Orland Park Health and Fitness Center for lap swim, Aqua Zumba, Senior Aqua, Barre Blend, Body Blast and Tai Chi. The Village’s Theatre Troupe will present Into the Woods October 19 – 22. Audition details can be found on page 37 of the Program Guide. Introduce your child to learning, socialization and play in the Village’s Preschool program. Classes begins September 11 for 3, 4 and 5 year olds. Lastly, mark your calendar for special historically-based events including the 1862 Civil War event at Stellwagen Farm, Tasting History at the Humphry House, and a little Halloween fun listening to ghost stories at Boley Farm. I encourage you to dive into the guide and explore the myriad of opportunities Orland Park has to offer.
