Dear Takeout 25 family,
It's BarrieFest time again! A neighborhood celebration featuring music, activities (including a climbing wall!), community updates, and of course FOOD! This year, Takeout 25 is proud to launch our community as Illinois' first Green Dining Hub at BarrieFest. This launch is both the culmination of months of work and collaboration, and also the start of a journey as we differentiate dining in our community by greening it through collective action. We are excited and proud of this journey and we want you to be a part of this excitement as we launch this at BarrieFest.
