A cooperative effort between the Village of Deerfield, the Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District, the Deerfield Park District, and the Deerfield and Bannockburn Police Departments, the 4th Annual Community Services Day is a free, community-wide event for residents of all ages. The festivities will be held on Saturday, September 6 from noon to 4:00 p.m. at Brickyards Park and the Patty Turner Senior Center in Deerfield.
Community Services Day was spearheaded by local government agencies to help promote services offered by the many local agencies and organizations that serve the community. This event is a unique opportunity for residents to see demonstrations and learn about the programs and services that these local agencies offer. Throughout the day there will be demonstrations, exhibits and activities. These include a live landing of the Flight for Life medical helicopter, a police dog demonstration, “Touch-a-Truck” featuring Fire, Police, and Public Works vehicles, mascot race and various other types of entertainment. Food will be available for purchase throughout the day. A passenger/child safety seat checkpoint will be offered from 9:00 a.m. to noon. The Village will also be hosting a household electronics collection at the Public Works facility, 465 Elm Street, from 9:00 a.m. - noon. Please note that there will be no gas can or lawnmower recycling events held this year. Deerfield, Bannockburn and Riverwoods community service clubs and organizations will be represented.
Thanks to the generous support of Astellas, John Buck Company, Parkway North Center, the Deerfield Park Foundation, Dominicks Finer Foods, District 109 PTOs, the Deerfield Optimist Club and other sponsors, this event is free to the entire community! This event promises to be fun for the entire family!
