The mobile market was the culmination of a partnership between two clubs at Minooka Junior High School and the Northern Illinois Food Banks' South Suburban Center in Joliet that began in December.
Spring sounds and sights are in the air, as activities both indoors and out will welcome visitors starting Saturday for a new season at Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich.
With easing of the state’s COVID-19 restrictions, the museums and gardens will be “fully open” this season, says Heritage President and CEO Anne Scott-Putney. State rules will allow 50% capacity, and all buildings will be open for indoor visitors. Only the historic carousel is still unavailable, due to COVID protocols.
Last year, in the first season of the pandemic, visitors were eager to take advantage of Heritage’s expansive 100-acre vistas, says Scott-Putney. A visit to Heritage turned out to be “an antidote to the restrictions of being indoors,” and visitors were happy to spend a day in “a place that felt normal” during COVID’s not-normal times.
