While other municipals holding a “National Night Out Against Crime,” the Village of Lake in the Hills is holding a

Here’s the route, according to the Northwest Herald:

The Peace March from 7 to 10 p.m., starting at Plote Field, 500 Grace Drive. Residents are invited to walk about 5 miles to Sunset Park to show their support for police-community partnerships. A bus will follow in case walkers need a rest or a drink of water. Residents can walk the route or join in along the way. Prizes will be raffled off at the end. Call Sgt. Terri Vollmer at (847) 658-5676 to tell her you plan to walk or just show up.

In Crystal Lake, where residents are invited to the Main Beach from 5-9, the NW Herald reports,

“Officer Sean McGrath said he hoped that it would be a good forum for residents to talk openly with police.

“’The primary purpose of National Night Out is a night out against crime,’ he said. ‘This is similar to what an open house would be for us.’”

Here’s still another article in the NW Herald about Tuesday night’s activities.

I can’t find a “Peace March” anywhere but Lake in the Hills.

Perhaps it is a manifestation of having so many active members of the Democratic Party on the village board.

Some members of the McHenry County Peace Group are planning on attending the march. It appears Lake in the Hills does not share the qualms about disturbing parade watchers held by the Crystal Lake Gala Parade Committee.
