Lots of fun in the sun
This year's Bolingbrook Village Picnic attracted its biggest crowd in three years, a spokesman said. Plenty of sunshine June 29 added to the success of the picnic, said Joe Gross, a spokesman for the event and former judge of the picnic's annual art show. About 8,000 people came out to Town Center to enjoy free hot dogs, games, contests, bingo, pony rides, live entertainment, an art show and more, he said.

Jeep Compass expands the brand

I have to admit that I was not the biggest fan of Jeep’s decision to enter into a new segment last year when they launched the Compass. The idea of a wagonlike “urban Jeep” with front-wheel drive, carlike handling and lack of the legendary Jeep trail rated prowess had me thinking that this was a big gamble on Jeep’s part.
