BENSENVILLE, Ill.—Due to the forecasted excessive heat, the Bensenville Park District has postponed the the Live at White Pines Cars, Cornhole and Cocktails event featuring Gallery—The Classic Rock Experience, as well as the Sunrise Park grand opening. Both were originally scheduled for Saturday, June 21.
The decision was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety and well-being of community members, participants and staff. The Sunrise Park grand opening was scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to noon, and the Live at White Pines event from 4 to 7:30 p.m.
“Community safety is our top priority,” said Executive Director Joseph Vallez. “With the extreme temperatures expected, it would not be responsible to ask patrons to attend outdoor events that may put their health at risk.”
Rescheduled dates for both events will be announced in the near future. Updates will be provided on the Bensenville Park District’s website and social media channels.
