Good morning, Naperville.

A local charity shared a dog’s small adventure when he slipped out on a June day to explore a nearby park and ended up with a spicy pizza treat before returning home to his loving family, showing that sometimes the best journey is right at home.

Naperville is set for a busy Father’s Day weekend from Friday to Sunday with family-friendly events including live music, food, art exhibits and community concerts.

Residents can check out Kreger’s brats, a vintage car show, a farmers market plus other local gatherings.

America will celebrate its 250th birthday on July 4 with citizens reflecting on national ideals and honoring veterans.

Naperville residents are encouraged to observe the milestone as a reminder of the sacrifices that shaped our nation's freedom.

Naperville council supported an amendment to the Block 59 redevelopment agreement to accommodate an undisclosed retailer with a home goods and furniture focus — increasing the planned reimbursement by $1.85 million.

The measure passed by six to two on Tuesday, June 16 and now awaits a signed lease.

Naperville retirees are embracing a new life—volunteering, golfing and exploring creative classes—to redefine retirement today.
