While we are experiencing a completely different summer this year, there are still things happening locally for your family to enjoy.. Many of our restaurants have opened up to inside dining at lower capacity, and we know they can certainly use our business after the long shut down. The park district is having a Balloon Glow this Friday at Wilson Park following the Patriots In The Park Bike Parade. You can find all the information below. Acoustic In The Park will be happening at the Randall D. Dalton Veterans Park in Pontoon Beach. This will be a great evening to spend listening to music with family and friends in a safe environment.

| Jesse White Announces Expired Driver’s Licenses, ID Cards, and License Plate Stickers Extended an Additional Month – Until Nov. 1 and suggests delaying facility visit during heatwave Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced that expiration dates for driver’s licenses/ID cards and license plate stickers have been extended an additional month – from Oct. 1, 2020, to Nov. 1, 2020. This new Nov. 1 extension also includes those who have July, August and September expiration dates. As a result, expired documents will remain valid until Nov. 1 so customers do not need to rush into Driver Services facilities, especially during the current heatwave. “Extending expiration dates until November 1 means people with an expired driver’s license, ID card or license plate sticker do not need to rush into a Driver Services facility immediately,” said White. “During this current heatwave, I would suggest residents consider delaying their visit to a facility. But if you must visit a facility, please come prepared to wait outside due to social distancing, which limits the number of people inside a facility at one time.” White continues to urge the public to consider using online services when possible instead of visiting a facility due to heavy customer volume. Customers who can conduct business online may go to www. cyberdriveillinois.com to take advantage of online services – such as renewing license plate stickers – from the comfort of their own home. People who conduct online transactions will avoid waiting in line at a facility. |
