The trademark cakes, cookies and paczkis made by Herb’s Bakery on Elgin’s west side are still being sold at the longtime store despite no member of the Schwartz family shop still being involved.
Stories of Elgin residents are told through photos and video interviews in the exhibit, "Open Book: Every Life is a Story," on display in August at Gail Borden Public Library in downtown Elgin. An opening reception will be held Thursday, Aug. 4.
