This Friday through Sunday is the annual Somonauk Summer Fest. The event kicks off with a cruise night from 5-9pm on Friday, followed by three days of fun including live music, games for everyone, and a parade.
There will be food booths and a beer tent starting at 5pm on Friday. Live music featured in the beer tent Friday will be Spoken Four. Games, balloon rides and bingo round out the evening.
For reasons only the DeKalb Library director and their attorney know a FOIA request by the Daily Chronicle for the letter of intent to purchase DeKalb Clinic property was denied. They first denied my request for the same letter but then a couple of days later they provided me with the letter. Unbelievable.
Chronicle reporter Elena Grimm attended the library board meeting when Gary Cordes (their lawyer) was told by executive director, Dee Coover, to take us (media types) to her office (and away from a closed session meeting) to give us a “special announcement.” She has been reporting on the story ever since.
The Chronicle filed a Request for Review with the Illinois Attorney General’s office. That office is getting a drawer-full from DeKalb.
