Roses, Tasting, and Cook Offs - Dupage News for 6/4/09

Its almost the weekend! And even better, its almost the weekend during summertime. So there's bound to be something exciting going on. Here's a few things I've found.

Roselle Rose Festival
Roselle is celebrating its 50th Annual Rose Festival, and the town is kicking it up with all kinds of different activities, going from June 4th through June 7th.

Taste of Wheaton
While Roselle is celebrating a 50 year tradition, a brand new tradition is being started just a few miles south. Wheaton has consolidated their "Cream of Wheaton" and "Autumnfest" celebrations into a brand new event - the Taste of Wheaton. Its a five day fest from June 3-7th, with free admission.

ConAgra Foods Healthy Kids Cookoff
If you have kids between the ages of 9-13 who enjoy cooking, this is the place for you. In an Iron Chef-style event, teams of kids, culinary students, and Chicago's chefs will compete to create "tasty, healthy, and low-cost meals and snacks." My two year old has loved cooking since he was born...I wonder if he'd pass for a nine year old??

Shopping!!!
And of course, nothing says summer weekend like garage sales! Here's where to find all that's for sale this weekend.
