Many Chicago Ridge residents say "Ridgefest" is like their vacation right here at home.
Ridgefest has been around for over 30 years, but in the last couple of days, the village board decided to cancel the event, citing safety concerns.
Chicago Ridge Mayor Charles Tokar said the board voted unanimously to cancel the fest, which would've included live music, carnival rides and nearly 20 vendors.
The move comes a few weeks after hundreds of teens were seen fighting at a carnival in Tinley Park. The Chicago Ridge village board – and residents – felt local police may not be prepared to handle any potential chaos.
"It breaks my heart. I heard other things were canceled, and I wondered where do we go from here?" asked Cheryl Murphy, a Chicago Ridge resident.

Obuma’s “army” decimating itself, one carnival at a time. Listen for the fat lady singing.
Chimpout.
Or just an underground group of warriors turning a couple of “youths” into matching spaghetti colanders. The police are there to protect the rioters and write tickets.
Remember what nice things we were allowed to have just a couple decades ago (before Obama). I remember musical events, parades, festivals, etc, to which you could take your children, give them a couple of bucks, and tell them to meet you at the main building at a certain time. I wouldn’t even attend one of those types of events now, much less let go of my children’s hands to allow them to go look at an exhibit or visit the concession stand without me accompanying them.
Too bad Mick ran out of jam... but he old. :)
Bean bag load AA12 shotguns will flip those grins around.
I’m sure BO trained a group of community organizers to continue his legacy.
What is going on has his smell all over it.
i guess banning teens is out of the question...
Obama’s Army are here to stay
Obama’s Army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today
