We also want to give a special shoutout to DuPage and Chicago South Suburbs Habitat for Humanity, who were on-site during the event. Be sure to check out their incredible work supporting affordable housing and strengthening local communities.

It's always a pleasure to be part of traditions that bring our community together and celebrate the people (and pets!) who make La Grange such a special place to call home.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello. We loved seeing all the creative costumes, wagging tails, and smiling faces!
