Happy Friday, Antioch!
This isn’t news to any of us, but it’s great when an organization from outside of Antioch recognizes our community! Travel website ShermansTravel recently came out with its “The Best Historic Towns in all 50 States” list. Antioch made the #1 spot for the Best Historic Town in the State of Illinois! See the entire list here: https://www.shermanstravel.com/slideshow/the-best-historic-towns-in-all-50-states
We’re getting ready for the Antioch Fourth of July festivities! Registration is going on now for the 27th annual Antioch Run for Freedom 5K on the Fourth of July. Whether you are a competitive runner or a casual walking family (or somewhere in between) enjoy the beautiful course that winds through the beautiful streets of Antioch.

I am looking forward to joining Congressman Brad Schneider and his staff for their “Congressman on your Corner” Town Hall event. The Town Hall begins at 11 a.m. and will offer an opportunity for attendees to get questions answered by the Congressman and to hear an update on the Congressman’s activities in Washington. RSVP to the event via the QR code below.

Did you have a chance to attend the It’s Thursday concert last night with The Complex at the Bandshell? Despite the cool weather, we had another great turnout! Thank you to everyone who attended. Our next Thursday Night Concert at the Bandshell is next Thursday at 7 p.m. with popular local cover band, GOOROOS. Coolers will be welcome, however, if you don’t want to bring your own, you can buy drinks from the Antioch Moose Lodge. Also, make sure to stop by our weekly Farmer’s Market at Main and Orchard before the concert, between 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thank you to our concert series sponsors for making this year’s summer music scene so great!
