This year's celebration features the 3rd Annual Strawberry Jam Kids' Fair

balloons to zoos! Admission is FREE. Kids’ entertainment, mascots, balloon

Our friend from Coco Keys Water Resort in Arlington Heights, Coco the mascot, ruffled his feathers around the tent all weekend to make sure everyone was having fun, and brilliant balloon artist Tommy D. was onsite all weekend. His work is fantastic!
