On September 29, 100 Scottish bagpipers played while Highland dancers performed and skydivers dressed in kilts landed center stage at Lake Forest Open Lands’ (LFOLA) annual fundraiser, Bagpipes & Bonfire. 1,750 attendees enjoyed dinner, live music, and the Highland Athlete competition at this one-of-a-kind event which culminated with the lighting of the massive bonfire at dusk at Middlefork Farm Nature Preserve. LFOLA thanks its presenting sponsor, Northern Trust and event co-chairs Sandy and Roger Deromedi of Lake Forest. lfola.org
