Buy a Brick Program

In 1999 the Village undertook a major renovation to Cook Park, which included the installation of brick pavers along various sections of sidewalk within the park. At that time the Village offered a “Buy a Brick” program for residents and businesses to purchase a 4” x 8” brick and have it installed in the park. The Village is once again offering the program.

Residents and businesses can purchase one or more personally engraved 4” x 8” bricks, which can be used to celebrate someone or something important in your life, identify you or your family as a donor/supporter of the park, or memorialize a loved one.

Cost- $200/brick
Additional $75/brick keepsake

The cost of the brick includes the amount of the brick and installation with any remaining funds to support Village park improvements and is not tax deductible.

Orders must be received by December 31, 2024. Installation is anticipated in Spring of 2025. Bricks are guaranteed for 5 years.

The annual Santa Parade will travel through the Village on Saturday, December 7th and will begin at 2:00 p.m. A Santa tracker map will be available to see when he is nearby. Grab your blankets, holiday cookies, hot chocolate, and chairs to watch Santa. If your street is on Santa’s route, we ask that you avoid parking on the street and use driveways, when possible, to ensure that Santa’s sleigh can fit down the street. The Village’s parks also make a great place to walk or drive and park at to enjoy the Santa parade. The Santa map and route will be released closer to the date of the event.
