Dear Friend of The Grove,
Autumn is a wonderful time to visit The Grove! The air is fresh and crisp, the leaves are changing colors, and fall festivals and activities are in full swing. Grove Folk Fest is October 1, and is the perfect event for you and your family to enjoy lively music, a hayride, a hearty picnic lunch, and much more. Register for the "Oak"tober Tree Trot and learn about native Illinois trees from the Village of Glenview's Robyn Flakne or camp under the stars during "Camping 101." Discover the world of Native Americans at a "Tipi Talk." There is something for everyone at The Grove. Finally, mark your calendar for our famous Arts and Craft Faire in November!
