• Planit Kane offers a listing of 4th of July fireworks displays in the Fox Valley. Local officials say the annual displays will be presented despite the moderate drought in northern Illinois, so grab some folding chairs, pack some refreshments and go enjoy a local fireworks show.
• The Kane County Forest Preserve District will host a senior stroll from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, July 5 at LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve, 37W370 Dean St., St. Charles. The event is free and refreshments will be served after the stroll. Participants are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes, insect repellent and sunscreen. For more information, call 847-697-2880. I photographed a few of these events in recent years, and I think the program provides participants a fine tour of the county's forest preserves.
