This weekend, the Morton Grove Farmers Market hosted its first festival of summer with the Welcome to Morton Grove Day.  The event is an open house of sorts, gathering many local community organizations, celebrating the village and allowing neighbors to get to know one another.

In addition to the weekly offerings of produce, plants, foods, and other merchandise, Saturday's festival featured an inflatable fun house, a balloon artist, temporary and henna tattoos, interactive science demonstrations, live music, crafts, and more.

Samina Hussain, Chairwoman of the Morton Grove Illinois Community Relations Commission, stated, "The purpose of this event is to represent as many local entities as possible.  We have all kinds of groups here.  People can find out about our town while they get their shopping done."
