A beautiful, breezy October day greeted over 2000 community members at this year’s YACC Biz Boo! event. Superheroes, princesses, animals and creatures of all types visited over 100 businesses that supported this year’s event held on October 21st.

All over town businesses provided entertainment, costume contests, raffles, scarecrow and decorated pumpkin displays, along with numerous activities for families to enjoy. You can view this year’s Route Planner to see the list of participating businesses and their activities.

The Touch-a-Truck, located in the NCG Theater parking lot, had children lining up to honk horns and take pictures. They experienced what it’s like to sit behind the wheel of a Groot garbage truck and the Kendall County Health Department’s van. Local first responders from Bristol Kendal Fire Protection, Kendall County Emergency Management Safety, the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, and the Yorkville Police Department came to interact with families and displayed their fire truck, ambulance, mobile emergency command unit, snow cat, and squad vehicles.

Thank you to NCG Yorkville Cinemas, the first responders, touch-a-truck participants, and all businesses that took part in Biz Boo! Special thanks to Yorkville Police Department for downtown pedestrian safety.

The following businesses sponsored Biz Boo, who, along with our Advertising Partners, enabled the Chamber of Commerce to organize this as a free, fun event for all businesses and the community. Thank you to:

The Chamber’s intent in organizing Biz Boo, aside from planning a fun day, is to bring exposure to the area’s local businesses. We celebrate that success when parents are overhead stating they’d never been to a particular business prior but plan to return.

We hope the families had a fun day and that they will indeed return to support the local businesses who made Biz Boo happen!
