Growing-up, and then later raising a family in the Lincoln-Way Community High School District of Chicagoland, it was our (and many others) annual ritual to make a trek to the Fall Festival held in Frankfort, IL over Labor Day weekend. It sortof "kicked-off" the school year and was a great place to meet friends and have fun.
