Tall Trees Traditions
The Tall Trees road rally is a Barrington tradition going back to 1986. Tall Trees residents organize and compete in this event year for the coveted Road Rally trophy. The road rally is a test of local knowledge. Participants solve puzzles that lead them to puzzles that eventually lead each team the a surprise location for dinner and drinks. Bingo is another Tall Trees tradition that allows neighbors to gather together in warmth of friendship and friendly competition to socialize and catch up on community events. Bingo parties rotate from house to house and a good time is guaranteed for all.
The annual 4th of July parade is great opportunity for neighborhood Children to participate in a community event and show off their Tall Trees pride. We are looking for a volunteer to organize this year's participation.
The Village has scheduled Tall Trees for late August / early September for street resurfacing. This project will help stimulate the economy and enhance home values. There will be some inconvenience for two to three days but the results should be worth it. The Village will be sending a notice out soon with details.
