INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND
It's a confusing holiday weekend. Most public offices are closed today, along with courts and libraries. Mail WILL be delivered today but not tomorrow. Some post offices are closing at noon. Most businesses are open today and some are open tomorrow. The stock market is closed today, but banks are apparently open.

TOMORROW IS INDEPENDENCE DAY
Remember that use of July 4th fireworks in Oak Park is ILLEGAL and DANGEROUS. Please be safe, protect our community, and attend public displays. THANK YOU!
