Get Flakey At Evergreen Park's Family Flake Fest

EVERGREEN PARK, IL -- Bundle up and start packing snowballs. It's time to get flaky at the 2018 Family Flake Fest this Saturday, Feb. 10, from to 6 p.m. The festival is FREE. All activities take place at Yukich Field, 91st Street and Kedzie Avenue, in Evergreen Park. So far it looks like Old Man Winter is sticking around, so come out and get some rosy cheeks cavorting in winter weather.

Stick around for the introduction of the Evergreen Park Community High School Snow Queen and Court.
All activities are subject to the weather. Some activities will take place inside the Evergreen Park firehouse garage.
