Out & About Bourbonnais
Hey there, Bourbonnais! Join us throughout June and July for “Out and About Bourbonnais,” an exciting challenge that combines fitness, fun, community, and the chance to win an awesome prize. Adults and teens, get outdoors and explore our local parks, trails, and neighborhoods! The program is in conjunction with the library’s Summer Reading Program, whose theme is “bookBONNAIS: a Community Reading Challenge” and is inspired by our love for the community.
How it Works:
- Goal: Your mission is to move a total of 40 miles throughout the months of June and July. But don't worry, you won't be doing it all at once! Break it down into manageable chunks by hitting 8 different milestone markers along the way.
- Tracking: Use our specially designed map of Bourbonnais, available at the library, to track your progress. Keep track of your miles as you move your way through these iconic locations.
- Participation: Everyone is welcome to participate! Whether you prefer walking, running, biking, or any other method of movement, this challenge is for you. Gather your friends, family, and neighbors, and let's get #outandaboutbourbonnais.
- Rewards: As you reach each milestone marker, visit the library to collect a component of your buildable keepsake keychain. Not only that, but every time you hit a milestone, you'll also be entered into our raffle for a chance to win a backyard badminton set!
