Our cover photo – please share your thoughts!

Hello again, everyone!

Well, it’s spring now in Oak Park, and I’m sure many of you are just as thrilled as I am to say goodbye to the snow and see the grass again, even if it isn’t very green yet.  I was thinking about that today, as I noticed the Oak Park Connections cover photo, of the snow-covered hill.  I love the hill; it brings back so many memories of my childhood here in Oak Park, and it’s one of our landmarks, a place we all recognize, know, and love. 

But it’s time to change the cover photo – winter is over!

What do you think?  Should our cover photo stay the hill with a picture of how it looks now, and change each season throughout they year?  Or should I change the cover photo completely, featuring other places in Oak Park? 

Please post your thoughts in the comments below this post, and I’ll go with what the majority wants.  (If your comment doesn’t show up right away,don’t worry,  I think I have to approve the first one you submit on the blog.  I’m still learning how to use this site, so please be patient with me). 

Looking forward to reading your thoughts!

Sunday Art Event!

What are you doing this afternoon?  Want to join with others in Oak Park and be creative?  There is a FREE activity from 2-4 pm at the Jewish Community Center, and it is open to everyone!  You do not need to be a member of the JCC to attend – just send an email to the Oak Park Arts and Cultural Commission at the address on the flyer below.  Create your own abstract art, learn about Peit Mondrian, and spend a couple hours with some great people! 

This is just one of many fun art activities planned for this spring – I had no idea that so much goes on for the community in our city all the time until recently.  There is another free art activity in a couple weeks, and more in April and May….more to come on that later!
