LAST CHANCE: Giveaway for Free Parking Pass at Frankfort Fall Festival Ends Saturday

Frankfort Patch and the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce are teaming up to give away three parking passes to Fall Fest if you visit downtown businesses. Find out how. The contest ends Saturday, Aug. 25.

A free, convenient parking space during the Frankfort Fall Festival is a scarce commodity if you don't already live downtown. When close to 200,000 people attend the three-day event, it's hard to accommodate everyone with primo spots right off of Breidert Green. This year, however, Frankfort Patch and the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce are giving away one free parking pass for each day of the fest, which runs over the Labor Day weekend, from Sept. 1 to 3. That's a Saturday-only pass, a Sunday-only pass and a Monday-only pass that are being offered. Here are all the details: Where Will This Pass Let You Park? If you win one of the passes, your downtown parking spot will be in the lot by Prairie Park, next to the carnival, near the …

After weeks of our 'Mommy Needs a Makeover' contest, the Patch panel of judges was left with the daunting task of choosing a grand prize winner.  After much deliberation and a few "aww's", some sniffles and a bunch of tissues, the judges narrowed it down to the top three.  1st Place, Winner of a salon and spa package valued at $450, (courtesy of Amato Hair Design in Tinley Park): Kerry Nolan, on behalf of Mary Nolan  Here's what Kerry had to say about her mom, Mary.   My mom (Mary Nolan) has been my rock for my entire life – and my sister’s, and my brother’s, and her siblings…
