“The right to vote is the crown jewel of American liberties.”

Thank you to everyone who voted early and everyone who has headed to the polls today!

Taking the time to make your voice heard is an incredibly important part of caring for and being apart of our community.

And a special thank-you to the election judges and poll workers helping all of us cast our ballots.

Haven’t voted yet?
There’s still time!
Polls are open until 7:00 p.m. tonight

“There’s no such thing as a vote that doesn’t matter. It all matters.”

Now that the costumes are being put away and the sugar is wearing off (maybe)..... let’s give those jack-o’-lanterns one last dance!

Bring your pumpkins to Park Ridge’s Pumpkin Smash—because why trash them when you can smash them AND help turn them into compost?

Saturday, November 7th
9:00 AM– Noon
Public Works Service Center, 400 Busse Highway

Just remove candles and decorations before bringing your pumpkins.

Then bring the family and a little leftover Halloween energy to help you toss your pumpkin into the dumpster where it will be transformed into compost!

What a great way to start Halloween! Lauren and I want to thank everyone who joined us for this morning’s walk through South Park. We had a great turnout, good conversations, and plenty of steps before the Halloween treats!

We’re looking forward to doing it again on Saturday, November 28, at 9:00 a.m., starting at City Hall. Mark your calendar and come walk with us!

Thanks for spending part of your morning with us, Park Ridge!

Park Ridge, let’s get moving! Lauren and I would love for you to join us for a walk—starting THIS SATURDAY!

The Community Health Commission’s We Run & Walk Park Ridge challenge encourages us all to explore our community on foot through December 31. With approximately 140 miles of streets, there is always something to discover. Take a new route, bring a friend, and see how much ground you can cover!

We’re joining the fun with three Saturday morning walks, and everyone is welcome:

Saturday, October 31 — A little walking before the trick-or-treating!
Meet at South Park Fieldhouse, 833 West Talcott Road, for a walk through the 7th Ward.

Saturday, November 28 — Bring your Thanksgiving stories, and maybe some leftovers!
Meet at City Hall, 505 Butler Place, for some fresh air and good company after the holiday.

Saturday, December 19 — Bundle up and join us!
Meet at Franklin School, 2401 Manor Lane, for a walk through the neighborhood and a little holiday cheer.

All three walks leave at 9:00 a.m. and return to our starting point by 10:00 a.m.

Lauren and I are looking forward to catching up with familiar faces and meeting some new neighbors along the way. Come for one walk or join us for all three. I can’t promise good weather, but I can promise a good time and walk in our community!

Thanks to our Community Health Commission for giving us another reason to get outside and enjoy Park Ridge together!

Learn more and register for the challenge, but you don't have to register to walk with us!

Park Ridge, Halloween is almost here, so let’s talk about when to send the kids out to collect our favorite candy. I mean, their favorite candy.

Recommended trick-or-treat hours are Saturday, October 31, from 3:00–8:00 p.m. Please follow these hours, watch out for kids crossing the streets, and help everyone have a safe and fun evening.

You can find safety tips and download signs letting trick-or-treaters know whether you’re participating at www.parkridge.us/news.

And parents, remember to check those candy bags. I usually find that a few peanut butter cups require further investigation.

Have a great Halloween, Park Ridge!

Enjoy the costumes, be good to your neighbors, and thank you for putting up with my puns...they're pretty candy - corny.

A big thank you to the Girl Scouts who visited me last week! They brought cards and snacks that we’ll be sending to Conor and his team in the Middle East. It means a lot to them to see that kindness and support from home.

We also had a great conversation about local government, what Park Ridge needs, and their ideas for making our community better. We talked about how we can all help make the world a better place—and these Girl Scouts are already doing that right here in Park Ridge!

Thank you for your thoughtful questions, your ideas, and your generosity. Conor and his team have a wonderful package coming their way.

35 Years of Making a Difference! ❤️

Today marks the 35th Annual Park Ridge CROP Hunger Walk, and it's wonderful to see our community continue to come together for such an important cause!

For 35 years, neighbors, friends, families, and congregations have joined forces to help fight hunger, both here at home and around the world. Through their support of the Maine Township Food Pantry and Church World Service, they're making a real difference in the lives of families who need a helping hand.

Fighting hunger has always been important to Lauren and me, and I'm especially proud to live in a community that has embraced this cause for so many years.

A big thank you to the organizers, volunteers, congregations, donors, and everyone who puts on their walking shoes year after year. Whether you've been involved since the beginning or are participating for the first time, you're part of what makes this tradition so special.

And if you're out and about today and see your friends and neighbors walking, give them a friendly wave or a supportive honk! Better yet, consider making a donation to support their efforts. Every little bit helps, and I know they'd appreciate the encouragement!

Congratulations on 35 years of the CROP Hunger Walk! Thank you to everyone who keeps this wonderful tradition going!

The Rotary Club of Park Ridge is celebrating ten years of its Craft B**r, W**e & Spirits Festival, and I’m looking forward to joining them!

Tonight, 5:30–8:00 PM at Harp & Fiddle, 110 Main Street

This event helps fund scholarships and community projects, but it’s just one part of what Rotary does for Park Ridge. From helping students pursue college and vocational training, to supporting our teachers, serving meals at Sunday Suppers, and ringing bells for the Salvation Army, these volunteers give their time throughout the year to help others.

Last month, they also gave our community something special, the Peace Pole in Hodges Park, dedicated on September 11th following our remembrance ceremony. The pole carries the words "May Peace Prevail on Earth” in eight languages and Braille.

If you haven’t seen it yet, take a few minutes to stop by next time you’re in Hodges Park.

Thank you to our Rotarians for everything you do for Park Ridge—and congratulations on ten years of bringing people together through this event.

Hope to see you tonight. Cheers!

We hit October running—and Together Park Ridge’s SnackTOBER donation drive is off to a great start!
It’s hard to believe it’s already October! Your generosity has been going strong all year long, and we are so grateful for everyone who continues to help us care for our neighbors.

This month, we’re collecting snacks to support students and families through busy fall days—before school, after school, and everything in between. Something as simple as a snack can help a student feel ready to learn and give a family one less thing to worry about.

As always, donations can be dropped off at:
📍 City Hall
📍 Cooney Funeral Home
📍 Our porch
📍 Park Ridge Presbyterian Church

You can also order directly from our Amazon Wish List and have your donation shipped directly to us!
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3PVR3XWESULQD?ref_=wl_share

Thank you for every donation, helping hand, and act of kindness. Month after month, you remind us what a generous community we call home.

Let’s keep SnackTOBER rolling, Park Ridge—because kindness is always worth passing on!

Park Ridge, let’s put our best foot forward!

Our Community Health Commission’s We Run & Walk Park Ridge challenge is underway through December 31, 2026, inviting residents of all ages to explore approximately 140 miles of city streets.

I’m taking this Park Ridge challenge one step at a time. Mostly because taking them all at once sounds exhausting.

Walk the dog, run your favorite route, or stroll through Uptown with friends. Explore a new block and give “Park Ridge street smarts” a whole new meaning!

Here’s how to join:

--Register using the form on the City’s webpage.
--Track your progress independently or use CityStrides to map your routes. CityStrides is optional; three months of supporter access costs $15. If the fee is a barrier, request a complimentary access code on the registration form—no questions asked.
--Enjoy weekly raffles for local business gift cards, plus special prizes for participants who complete every street!
--Wear your progress! Map T-shirts are available for $23 so you can color in the streets you complete. The next order deadline is October 25 at 11:59 p.m., with pickup October 29.

I told my family I’m going to cover every street in Park Ridge.
They said, “That’s a stretch.”
I said, “Good idea—I’ll do that first!” 😉

Let’s make some strides together, Park Ridge!
