Ten More Winners Today...Nearly 40 Overall

It was a busy day for "Shop the Village" on Saturday, as 10 customers received $25 certificates from a variety of participating businesses throughout Oak Park.

Of the 10 prizes, four were $25 gift cards to Trader's Joe (which has contributed six overall) and two were for Trattoria 225, the fine restaurant in the Arts District. (Though participation requires only one gift card, some merchants are opting to give multiple prizes.)

One especially fun moment occurred at Snip City, 819 S. Oak Park Ave., where salon owner Pasquale Russo was in the midst of an appointment with Sara Hamilton of Oak Park when Triple S came on the scene. That's the trio in the photo above.

Immediately below is one video from the day's excursion, at Wonder Works, the Children's Museum on North Avenue. More videos are at the Shop the Village channel on YouTube.




Videos to follow, but for now, below are some other snapshots from today's outing.
