Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Don't forget to dig out those fire hydrants!

Prairie Family Days--Here's Your Chance

Click here.

How about an IcePlex summer snowball fight? Worlds largest popsicle? Create some kind of world record breaking competition.

Do they do sandcastle competition by age groups?

More food vendors or better back-up maintenance to keep lines down to a minimum.

Water fights, ballon toss, egg toss.......

Special Village Board Meeting

They need a special meeting for this one item? Why didn't they deal with this at Monday's meeting? Best use of personnel and time?

Hujik said if he does decide to run, he hopes voters will see the positive developments in the district.

“We’re continuing to keep the finances moving in the right direction."

Recreation Commission

The Rec Comm tonight is considering gambling and alcohol at Prairie FAMILY Days. Need I say any more?

CDO Generating Lots of Negative Buzz

Every where I go, local residents ask "why aren't more people upset about the CDO mess and School Board's costly response". I agree. Any other community, these people would have all been recalled. Think about recalls when School Board's fire a popular coach and such that have happened around the state and in other nearby communities. I said I'd like to see them work out of the mess they created myself but we might as well all prepare for a special referendum to pay for this mess. They won't win because page 5 or 6 of the agreement the Board signed clearly states what they were getting into and purchasing.

Village Budget--Minimal Increase

Bad economy, bad times. We all would like to see reductions, like most others did with local taxes. Few have any extra money to spend, with layoffs and reductions, but I also want to see the roads improved. Especially when they do 180's on new development plans.

Pool? Needed not so much but I guess will help attract Triathalons and Olympics.

Texas J's Gentlemen Club

Kenosha News reported that the Club was moving to a site on Sheridan Road. If State condemns and needs land for interstate, why doesn't the State provide some area for them along interstate instead of further within the Village? Time for Village to beef up their ordinances to prevent this ridiculous move.
