                    ****************************

  The 2022 Christmas Market in Lemont was WONDERFUL! 

 Friday night, December 9th, the sky was clear, the moon was full and the evening was magical - thank you to all who made it happen.  Saturday continued the sunny weather and brought a steady stream of folks to shop, eat sweets and brats & hotdogs, plus mulled wine & cider and hot chocolate.  

The amazing wreath, created by Alan and Kris Popovich, graced our building for the 12th year, and Santa thrilled many children on Saturday afternoon, nobody even cried! and he had fun. 

Musicians, Jim Treado and Joe Pillot played  tunes for the Saturday afternoon festivities. 

Next year mark your calendar for December 8th & 9th for more magic.  Check this site soon for great photos and even a movie of the event.
