Lemont’s Ushers in the Season With Hometown Holiday

We're happy to share photos from Saturday’s celebration in downtown Lemont - and we hope you'll add your photos from Hometown Holiday, too.

Lemont kicked off the holiday season in style Saturday night with its annual Hometown Holidays celebration.  The village’s historic downtown was all decked out for the season with decorated trees, twinkling lights and sparkling storefronts.

The popular event featured a variety of activities for the entire family – from horse-drawn carriage rides and carolers to ice sculpting, free hot chocolate and cookies – and, of course – the Jolly Old Elf himself, Santa Claus.

Did you snap photos at Hometown Holiday that you’d like to share? Just upload them here – or email them to Guest Editor Linda Ozbolt at lindaozbolt.patch@gmail.com.

Was there ever a time when a full day was offered Jennifer? I was in kindergarten at Oakwood aboutRead More 28 years ago and even then it was half day. If you want full day Kate, St Pats/St Al's, St Cyril's, and I'm sure others are full day.

Let's get real. It is NOT a half day. It is 2.5 hours. By the time kids into class, sing a song,Read More have a snack and pee, they are done for the day. Sorry. Calling a spade a spade on this one.

Is this question really from a teacher? Full-day kindergarTen has a lot of fillers too: they eatRead More lunch, go outside, go to the bathroom, etc. I don't think our public schools allow snacks in the classroom anyway. Any teacher would know that learning starts at home, and a teacher would know how to supplement a kindergarten curriculum.
