Download or read book Lake Forest Day written by Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Historical Society and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Lake Forest Day in 1908 included a hot air balloon ascension, a cutest baby contest, a mind-reading dog, and a vaudeville show. Proceeds from this event, organized by the Lake Forest Woman's Club, funded the Contagious Hospital, which eventually merged into Lake Forest Hospital. American Legion Post 264 took over in 1921 and has maintained this extraordinary tradition ever since. This annual celebration has changed over the years to reflect local interests, national events, and even cultural shifts. With the advent of World War II, the themes became patriotic, such as "Home Defense," "Prelude to Victory," and "On to Tokyo." Lake Forest Day, held on the first Wednesday of August, continues to inspire civic pride. This book represents a fascinating look at Lake Forest in 1908 and the century thereafter, as parades, carnivals, and contests energized community spirit.

Download or read book Lake Forest Illinois written by Edward Arpee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-07 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lake Forest, Illinois: History and Reminiscences, 1861-1961 The present becomes the past before we know it. The past he comes history. It is important to write down the facts in some read able form before people pass on, and before many documents and newspapers, yellow with age and ready to fall apart, are gone for ever and forgotten. The written records of a period are far more trustworthy than the memory of people years after the event. In view of these circumstances, it is important to preserve all that is available about our fair city, in answer to the simple question what happened? But the answers are not always simple. One is often faced with conflicting reports, and a choice has to be made. Many of the records are not readable; some are undated and often interesting but unusable. It is fortunate that there are a few persons still living who remember the pioneers of Lake Forest, what they were like, what their ideas were, and how they lived. I have told every one everywhere what I was doing and received much information, some of which could not be used. Being a community of varying ideas, the balance or the omissions of this book are natural subjects of disagreements. Also with so many capable writers in our midst many types of treatment are possible. For the readers who disagree with the materials in this book or wish to add to them, blank sheets are provided at the end of the volume for private corrections or additions.
