Positively Naperville always is happy to be part of the Jaycees Last Fling Labor Day Parade, especially since the Jaycees and Jaycees Roosters helped launch the first issue of the independently-owned monthly community newspaper in September 2001.
Then in 2008, Positively Naperville was there to help launch IndieBound Naperville, a growing group of independent businesses where you’ll see a bright red “IndieBound Naperville / Love your Local” sign in the window.

Thanks to independent merchants Ellman’s Music Center and The Growing Place for helping PN promote more than 150 local independents featured at www.indieboundnaperville.org.
Also note Bill Kreger marching with independents. Â Not only is Kreger one of PN’s sponsors, Kreger hosts monthly IndieBound Naperville meetings at Kreger’s Brat and Sausage House, usually at 6PM on the first Monday of the month. Because of Labor Day, the next meeting is Sept. 12, 2016. Owners and managers of independent businesses are welcome to join the educational organization in support of small businesses.
In addition, Friends of Steph will host the annual big brat block party benefit at Kreger’s, Sunday afternoon until 6PM, Sept. 11, 2016. Kreger’s Brat and Sausage House is located at 605 N. Ellsworth. Free admission, live music, raffle prizes and much more. The community is welcome.
Thanks for shopping, dining, banking & entertaining locally!
Thanks, Naperville Jaycees! Thanks also for grants in support of the Naperville Riverwalk (Jaycees Marina, Jaycees Playground and Jaycees Gazebo) where the Last Fling is held all along Jackson Avenue and Rotary Hill.
And thanks to all the advertising sponsors and contributors that have made Positively Naperville a reality for 15 years!
Tomorrow Positively Naperville begins its 16th year! Cheers!
As emcees Nicki Anderson and Liz Spencer noted during the live broadcast of the Labor Day Parade on NCTV17, the showcase of marching bands and community groups will be rebroadcast for local viewing pleasure on Naperville Community Television.
