Thank you to all who took part in this year’s YACC Biz Boo! Princesses, dinosaurs, superheroes, and creatures of all types visited the estimated 90 businesses that welcomed them during the event on October 19^th.

Throughout 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, Davey Tree Expert Company bucket truck, and JKE Solutions Co. hydro excavation truck. They also got to peek inside the Kendall County Health Department’s van, Andersen Plumbing & Heating Inc.’s van, and One More Step Family Limousine’s transportation vehicle. Local first responders from Bristol Kendal Fire Protection, the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, and the Yorkville Police Department came to interact with families and displayed their fire truck, ambulance, 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 we overhear participants 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!
