DuPage County Board Report
Wheaton – DuPage County is inviting young residents to help paint a mural celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary during the DuPage County Fair from 11AM to 4PM on Friday, July 24. DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy and PowerForward DuPage Executive Director Karyn Charvat are leading the “Paint with Us at the Fair” project.
“We wanted to add a youth component to our countywide celebration of our nation’s anniversary that would allow kids of all ages to express themselves and have fun,” said DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy. “Young artists can leave their personal stamp on our canvas as we mark America’s 250th birthday together.”
Chair Conroy is creating the mural with supplies provided by IBEW Local 701 and PowerForward DuPage in Warrenville.
“We’re proud to support this inclusive family activity at the DuPage County Fair. We hope children, teens, and young adults will enjoy doing a little painting while they check out the rides and the Fair food,” said Frank Gravina, Business Manager of IBEW Local 701.
Groups interested in attending the fair can find information about group registration and discounted admission rates on the Fairgrounds website.
