Merry Christmas, Antioch!
This week’s message will be short and sweet:
First of all, if you’re looking for a last-minute gift idea, I’ve got a couple of suggestions –
The Village of Antioch/Antioch Chamber Gift Cards are available digitally at, https://app.yiftee.com/gift-card/antioch-chamber–il. As a bonus, you get a $20 gift card for free, for every $50 gift card you buy! These gift cards are good at many local shops and restaurants and make perfect stocking stuffer gifts!
Also, how about the gift of an experience? The 2024 Village of Antioch Winter Wine Walk is less than a month away, and tickets are on sale now! There will be nearly 30 stops and over 50 wines! Tickets for the Wine Walk make for a fun gift! Tickets are available here: https://secure.rec1.com/IL/village-of-antioch/catalog/index/50a643b5eaeb74a176c021e092fc9413?filter=c2VhcmNoPXdpbmU=
Don’t forget to visit the holiday light show at the Bandshell, which runs daily through Christmas Day, from 4 p.m. – 9 p.m., and the Chamber’s Kringle Village and Dickens Holiday Village at 510 0rchard Street, which runs daily through New Year’s Day.

The Antioch Police Department’s annual Shop with a Cop event was held earlier this week. This has become one of my favorite nights of the year! This is really a heartwarming and great event for the families and the kids who were involved. This year, the village and police department recognized Raymond Chevrolet / Kia and owner Mark Scarpelli for their support of Shop with a Cop. Mark has been a big part of this program for over 20 years, donating time and significant financial contributions. The Antioch Police Department’s Shop with a Cop event would not be possible without the collaboration and support of Raymond Chevrolet / Kia, the generosity of community members, and the assistance of the Lindenhurst Police Department. Thank you, all!
This weekend is a great time to catch a Christmas movie at the historic Antioch Theatre! I just saw on their Facebook page that the Antioch Theatre is showing a FREE Christmas showing of the Polar Express this Sunday at 10 a.m.! Plus, the theatre will be offering free concessions courtesy of Raymond Chevrolet / Kia. For more information, visit the Antioch Theatre Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AntiochTheatre
Finally, I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a healthy holiday season!
