OSF HealthCare Saint Katharine Medical Center is sponsoring the upcoming Petunia Festival Family Fun Night, a celebration of community, patriotism and summer fun, on Friday, July 4 from 5-7 p.m. in the First Presbyterian Church parking lot at 110 E. Third St.
The event will feature family-friendly games, goodies, and a “Touch-a-Truck” experience hosted by the Dixon Police Department, giving children a chance to explore emergency vehicles up close.
Across the street at the Old Lee County Courthouse, festivalgoers can enjoy an old-fashioned ice cream social from 5-7 p.m. At 6:30 p.m., a reading of the Declaration of Independence will honor the nation’s founding, followed by a live performance by the Dixon Municipal Band.
