Community Services Day

A Tribute to Service

A cooperative effort of the Village of Deerfield, the Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District, the Deerfield Park District, and the Deerfield and Bannockburn Police Departments, the 7th Annual Community Services Day celebration is a free, community-wide event for residents of all ages. The festivities will be held on Saturday, September 10, from noon to 4:00 p.m. at Brickyards Park and the Patty Turner Center in Deerfield.

Community Services Day is spearheaded by local government agencies to help promote services offered by the many local organizations that serve the community. This event is a unique opportunity for residents to learn about the programs and services that local agencies offer. Deerfield, Bannockburn and Riverwoods community service clubs and organizations will be represented.

Throughout the day there will be demonstrations, exhibits and activities. These include a live landing of the Flight for Life medical helicopter; a police dog demonstration; “Touch-a-Truck” featuring Fire, Police, & Public Works vehicles; a mascot race and various other types of entertainment. New activities this year include safety kiosks, interactive demonstrations, and a new DUI simulated driving experience (height requirement applies). Also, North Shore Hospital Systems joins the venue with the following free services: cholesterol & glucose testing as well as blood pressure checking. Food will be available for purchase throughout the day. A passenger/child safety seat checkpoint will be offered from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Also during that time, the Village will host a household electronics collection at the Public Works facility, 465 Elm Street.

Thanks to the generous support of Astellas Pharma U.S., Inc., The John Buck Company of Parkway North, Deerfield Park Foundation, Jewell Contract Dining, District 109 PTOs, Deerfield Optimist Club and other sponsors, this event promises to be fun for the whole family. We hope to see you there!
