Featured Live Music Artist of the Week - First Responder Community Event

With today's entry, we are helping to spread the word for an event occurring Saturday August 19 and Sunday August 20 in Steger, IL.

The First Responder Community Event.

This event is to honor the men and women of the First Responder Community; Fire Department/EMT, Police Department, Emergency Management Agency (EMA), and Public Works.  These are the first people on the scene serving and protecting the residents of Steger and nearby communities.  They are there for fires, accidents, general assistance, traffic control, snow removal, water main breaks, getting cats out of trees, checking for carbon monoxide or natural gas in homes, keeping water purified, illness, injury, and education - and so much more.

The event starts on Saturday, August 19 with a parade.  Everybody loves a parade.

The parade begins at 3:00pm on the west side of town, and travels down Steger Road to Hopkins and ends at the Louis Sherman Community Center.

At this point, all sorts of activities will be ready to roll - a dunk tank, water games, bean bags, and a DJ.  There will also be food and beverages available.

At 7:45pm, The Neverly Brothers- A Rock N Roll Tribute from Elvis to The Beatles - takes the stage for a free concert.

Following the concert - FIREWORKS!!!  And then a DJ in the beer tent to finish off the evening.

On Sunday, August 20, there will be a fundraiser dinner to raise money for the First Responder Departments.  Money raised will be split across the groups and used as necessary.  Reservations are now closed for this event, so the caterer has a headcount.  This dinner takes place inside the Louis Sherman Community Center.
