Anyone living in the Libertyville area this summer is in store for one of the best festivals around. Here at the Gammonley Group we are big supporters of local festivals and community building events, especially ones that have such an extensive list of activities and contests. We highly encourage all of our Liberty Grove home owners to check out this festival out. Some of the attractions include the carnival, car show, parade, food, Idol Contests, arts and craft shows, dance performances, baking and cooking contests and even fencing instructions. The festival will run from June 12th through the 15th in downtown Libertyville. Click here for registration and a full list of activities

While we are sure it is, you may still be on the fence. This is why we have decided to offer an incentive to those who are looking to buy right now.

Hearing about the country’s economic slow down every other day can be worrisome. We want you to know we’re aware of this. Starting today, when you buy one of our homes we will knock $2,000 off the unit price.

Interested in getting to live in a beautiful new home and saving $2,000? Make an appointment online right now to visit any one of our communites including: our contemporary condos at Grand Bend at Green Bay, located in Evanston, our luxury single family homes at Liberty Grove in Libertyville of which there are only three left, and our lots in Amberwood Estates near downtown Wheaton on which we can collaborate with you on a build-to-suit semi-custom home.

The savings apply to all of our homes. So come out and see us. Get what you want, and save that $2,000 for a rainy day.

This Monday, May 26th is Memorial Day. It is the time of year we recognize the lives given by those in the Armed Services in order to protect our country and keep us safe.

As a tribute to this day and the people it recognizes, Libertyville is having a parade with several stops, starting at the train station. Its first destination, Cook Park, will be the location of the Memorial Day events. Once they are through, the parade will proceed to the Lakeside Cemetery, where the closing ceremonies will take place. Participants include the VFW, American Legion, Scout troops, various community organizations, and Libertyville High School Band.

Despite the confusing weather, there are still signs that summer really is around the corner. Starting this Saturday, May 24th, Independence Grove will be opening its swimming beach once again.

From this Saturday through Sunday, June 8th, the beach will only be open on weekends and holidays. Starting Monday, June 9th it will be open everyday of the week.

Come enjoy the sand and water safely from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. while lifeguards will be on duty. Make a day of it and don’t forget the other options Independence Grove has to offer like biking, canoing, fishing and much more.
