Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Villa Park Community FUN Commission's Fairy Frolic this weekend! 🧚✨

We had such a magical time meeting Tinkerbell and the other fairies, making our very own fairy gardens, chasing down Captain Hook, and enjoying delicious treats and fun games.

To top off the day, Captain Hook honored Tinkerbell and all her new fairy friends with a special proclamation and presented Tinkerbell with the key to Villa Park!

Also, a special shoutout to Bob Wagner and Go Green Villa Park for supplying biodegradable, plant-based waste bags and trash-grabbers — your support made a big difference. 🌿💪🧤
