Summer is winding down, and that means it's almost time for West Chicago's 22nd annual Tales Tombstones Tell. This will be Carol's third year working in the graveyard. Come out and enjoy an evening of "historical edutainment", as local costumed performers relate the life stories of some of the long-term residents of Oakwood Cemetery. Tours are free and last approximately 45 minutes. Refreshments will be served and donations are welcomed and appreciated.
The festivities take place on Friday, October 7 from 6:30 - 9:00pm (last tour begins at 7:45pm). The cemetery is located at York Street and Oakwood Avenue in West Chicago.

(Note: Due to road construction, Washington St. is only open for east-bound traffic. If you are coming from the east, take Rt. 59 to Pine St., which is 2 streets north of Washington. Turn west on Pine, then take a soft left at the stop sign onto Oakwood.)
