FRC’s Family Picnic in September!

On Saturday, September 11th, Family Resource Center (FRC) will celebrate it 21st Annual Family Picnic!  More than 500 friends of FRC are expected to gather at Busse Woods Forest Preserve in Elk Grove Village to enjoy a day of great food, perfect weather and fun activities for the kids.  Pony rides, a petting zoo, bounce houses, giant slide, face and hand- painting and  a visit from Clifford, the Big Red Dog, are just a few of the afternoon highlights.  As usual, we are also planning to play games, including the kids’ favorites – the water balloon toss and the caterpillar game! We are also concentrating on creating activities that our older kids will enjoy!

The picnic continues to be a popular annual event for many in the FRC community, and it is always wonderful to see people reconnect with each other and with FRC staff.  Busse Woods turns out to be the perfect venue, offering plenty of room to spread out, ample parking and a beautiful setting.   Kids large and small always go home exhausted but happy, full of ice cream, cotton candy and memories of a wonderful day.

If you are able to help plan on this fun-filled event, please contact FRC's Angela Bartle at (773) 334-2300.
