Cheers to a great event, Elgin! 🍻

A huge thank you to our sponsors, participating breweries and everyone who joined us last weekend for IL Brews at Bowes.

Your support of the Elgin Parks and Recreation Foundation goes beyond one great event. It helps create more opportunities for people in our community to experience the parks, programs and recreation opportunities that bring Elgin together.

Thank you for raising a glass and making a difference right here in Elgin!
