More than 500 friends and neighbors came out to the Village Hall Grounds in Barrington Hills to enjoy the afternoon taking in the sights, sounds, and charismatic environment. Festgoers were greeted at the entrance with fall-inspired décor followed by a warm welcome from President Brian Cecola who highlighted new features at the fest and thanked the Village’s many donors, sponsors, and volunteers. Gleeful cheers from young visitors could be heard throughout the grounds as they participated with their parents and grandparents in the many featured activities.
