Come see why The Food Network's Rachael Ray thinks Retro on Roscoe is so fabulous. The Roscoe Village Neighbors
is the beneficiary of Retro on Roscoe. This non-profit organization promotes the Village of Roscoe as a friendly
place for Chicagoans to live and for local businesses to flourish. It provides an open forum for discussions on
how to improve the community and seeks to continually improve safety for the people who live and work in Roscoe
Village. Proceeds from Retro on Roscoe benefit Roscoe Village Neighbors. This year, RVN is using Retro income to
fund improvements to the business district, donate to the Hamlin Park Baseball field upgrade, support our local
schools, Audubon and Jahn, by funding teaching resources and reading materials, and hosting a variety of community
events for our membership and members of the community. Sat & Sun: 12N-10p A $5(??) donation
is requested at the door, and children under 12 and senior citizens are free. One of Chicago's hottest areas is
the home of this flashback weekend of fun. Retro on Roscoe, now in its 12th season, will feature an antique car
and motorcycle show, and plenty of '70s, '80s and '90s music to entertain the crowd of over 35,000 people.
Antique and craft vendors, ethnic foods and games, fill the venue and liven up this tree-lined street for an enjoyable,
two-day festival that brings back great memories while providing an exciting venue for the entire family. The Family
Area is one of the best in the City and offers games, crafts, entertainment and lots more. This weekend will provide
an incredible experience filled with exciting opportunities for all in attendance. Do not miss Retro on Roscoe!
Special Note: AMPLE FREE PARKING is available in the parking lot of Lane Tech High
School, located at Western Avenue immediately north of Roscoe Street! |

Ronnie Rice: http://www.ronnierice.com
picked up a guitar when he was 16 years old and hasn’t put it down yet! He began his musical career as a solo performer
in Evanston. In the late 1960’s, Ron joined the Chicago-based group The New Colony Six and sang lead vocals on
many of their hit records including oldies favorites "I Will Always Think About You" and "Things
I’d Like to Say". In the mid-1970’s, Ronnie began developing and perfecting his unique blend of Rock ‘n Roll
classics. |

Fest, Backlot Bash! Oakton St, btwn Lincoln & Laramie Ave adjacent to the Village Hall, Skokie,

http://www.backlotbash.com Parking & Location Map: http://www.backlotbash.com/assets/backlot_map.pdf
Free! Fri 6-10p, Sat 11a-10p and Sun 12N-8p Oakton St will be closed from Fri 10a till Sun 12M, Skokie’s
first downtown summer festival in more than 10 years. |
| The name “Backlot” pays tribute to downtown Skokie’s (then Niles Center’s) heritage as a silent picture western
back lot set between 1907 and 1915. Chicago’s Essanay Studios, the MGM of its day, frequently used Skokie because
its dirt roads, saloons and wood frame buildings resembled an old prairie town. Essanay used this area frequently
for shooting movies featuring gunfights, bank robberies, and cowboy and Indian skirmishes. In 1915, the Niles Center
Theater (now Skokie Theater) opened and residents were finally able to see the very westerns that they had watched
being filmed here. Essanay was the home of stars such as “Bronco Billy” Anderson, Ben Turpin, Wallace Beery, Gloria
Swanson — and in 1914 and 1915 — Charlie Chaplin. |
