Unable to have our annual fund raiser, we hope you will join us in supporting Riverview Historic District for this new interactive event.
Volunteers dove into the archives to find some amazing stories for you to explore on the course.
Whether you’re a runner, walker or jogger we invite you to join other residents with inquisitive minds on a journey of discovery and curiosity. All ages, paces and faces are welcome so lace up your shoes and traverse RHD with us, one 5K at a time!

How To Do "Crazy Lights"
2019-11-24 13:00 - 14:00 | IL
On Sunday, November 24, Riverside Neighborhood Organization will be hosting a demonstration on How to do “Crazy Lights” for those interested in displaying them during the Holidays. Location and time for the demonstration to be announced. This is a good time to think about planting any trees you may need and if you want to have an exterior electrical outlet installed. You might want to also begin stocking up on supplies. In addition to a few trees or anchors on your house, you’ll need a tennis sized ball, tape, string, tent stakes, and, of course, strings of lights. Berry and Joanne McCracken have lights to purchase and can help to answer any questions you may have. If you are interested in having an outdoor electrical outlet installed and would like to see if a group discount can be arranged, let them know. You can reach Berry at 815.954.7761 or berry.mccracken@cbexchange.com.
