The Community Cookout/Festival is back, and we are beyond excited. This free event is hosted by Elgin Cares, but the entire community puts it on. We will have food, games, and competitions, not to mention the famous bingo game. We will have gifts, door prizes, and other giveaways for every age group. So grab the kids, the stroller, Outdoors Armchair, your dog, your pet hamster, your grandmother, and the guy who takes 15 plates from the family reunion; this event is for everyone. And we do me, everyone. Keep reading for more details below.
