I’ve blogged earlier about this, but it “bears” repeating - Glenview’s “Bear-Foot in the Park” series on Wednesday nights is a winner.

Put on by Glenview Park District and sponsored by Foodstuffs, Glenview State Bank and Chestnut Square at the Glen, this rousing series of Wednesday night concerts is a great chance to reconnect with neighbors, eat a picnic dinner, play cards, let the kids run around and chase down a few fireflies.

Tonight was the second concert of the series this summer, with 215 West, a cover band that played a little bit of everything. Kids were dancing, adults were tapping their feet and cicadas kept the chorus.

I like to think of it as a “Mini Ravinia” - an hour-and-a-half of good music on the lawn. And there’s even a matching Metra stop right next to the park:) Next week? An ABBA tribute band. Oh, baby. It’s not Steve Miller or Wynton Marsalis, but it’s free.

Insider Tip? Sneak over to the Dairy Bar on Lehigh afterwards for a baseball hat sundae. Yummers.
