Our Life section feature "Best Bets" highlights local calendar events happening this week, including the annual National Night Out and a dog adoption event at the Kankakee Farmers Market.
This is not only the most wonderful time of the year but also the time of year when homeowners tend to see an uptick in their electric bills. Itâs all for a fun reason, as homes are transformed into winter wonderlands for the Christmas season. In Bourbonnais and Bradley, village officials are encouraging residents to decorate their homes as part of Christmas decorating contests.
Bourbonnaisâ contest, âA Holly Jolly Holiday Lighting Contest,â sponsored by Brandon Caseyâs Comfort Crew and ComEd, has closed its submission process and voting has commenced. Community viewing of the houses began Dec. 4 and will run through Christmas Day.
