Barcocina (West Town) will also offer 10% off all food and drink when you visit them after the party!

(Also, no need to “Scan for more info”- that’s a circular reference!)

Help us support One Tail at a Time’s foster programs and Pet Mutual Aid Society! Please bring your donations of unopened cat food or dog food to the Commercial Park field house M-F from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. from now until the end of the year. The donation box is located inside the second doors of the field house entrance. (The unopened part of the donation is important- it’s a park. Little kids. Also I don’t want to be responsible for rats getting inside the building, so… thank you for your unopened donations of food to this wonderful cause!!!)

You know it, you love it, it’s Halloween at Commercial Park! Join us on Saturday, October 28th from 2:00 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. for pumpkin painting, crafts, games, face painting, story time with our friends from the Chicago Public Library, hot chocolate and churros from The Stop Along, and of course, the trick-or-treat parade around the block!

Chicago Ave.) has generously offered to donate 10% of their food and beverage sales to the Commercial Park Advisory Council when you visit them between 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on October 28th when you mention Commercial Park. So after the party, go get some grown-up treats at Barcocina and tell them we sent you! Support your local park and your local margaritas!
