Thanks so much for this list of things to do! Makes it so easy to search daily!
X factor in Mundelein was listed today for toddler time. It was not open and looked very run down.
Jamie I’m very sorry about that, we do our best to provide accurate information. I have reached out to X Factor to confirm their hours. – Melissa
Jamie we did reach out to them and they said the days and hours we have are correct. I’m sorry you experienced that, I would give the facility a call.
Under five family time at Vernon library is now at 10:30am for the rest of the year.
Thank you, we have updated the calendar.
The events seem to revolve in most part around children and families and although that is nice, there is not a lot for single adults. is there a separate web site for those events?
Thank you for your comment Barbara. Yes our whole site is for families and children. You can try the Visit Lake County Site, Eventbrite, or Metromix for adult only events.
That’s why the website is called LITTLE lake county 😉 and the motto is local, FAMILY, fun!
Is there a way to print out the calendar of just the month of June in one page? A printer friendly version?
When I try to print it, it is wanting to print 25 pages in strange columns.
Thanks.
We don’t at this time. We will keep your suggestion in mind and see if we can come up with something.
Rockin Jump no longer has rockin tots on Saturdays in the summer if you want to make that change. They said it would return in the fall.
