Garfield Ridge Lights Its Christmas Tree

Thanks to everyone at GRREAT (Garfield Ridge Retail

Entertainment and Amusement Team), as well as the Chicago Park District, the Garfield Ridge Neighborhood Watch and other co-sponsors, for pulling together--for the second year--a Christmas tree-lighting event this evening at Wentworth Park.

Plenty of family photos by the Christmas tree (which this year came not from the north woods of Wisconsin or Michigan, but from right here on the Southwest Side).

Plus visits with Santa Claus and family after family lacing up skates and enjoying Wentworth Park's ice skating rink.

Here are a few photos we shot, in no particular order.

Lots of Christmas-season family fun in one of Chicago's very best neighborhoods!

About Us

The Southwest Chicago Post is an independent news service delivering news and opinion to the people of Chicago's Southwest Side.

We promote prosperity, progress and peace in the neighborhoods we serve.

We intend to champion homeowners, locally owned and operated small businesses and professional practices, schools, libraries, parks, houses of worship and more.

We also strongly support efforts to prevent crime and make our neighborhoods safer.

We cheerfully assist and promote members of our business and professional community, particularly those that are independent, locally owned and which hire local residents.

This online news service is owned and operated by lifelong Southwest Siders Joan Hadac (Editor and Publisher) and Tim Hadac (Managing Editor), both of whom have worked as local newspaper reporters and editors for over 25 years each.
