Port Edward has pleasant memories for me all the way back to visiting the Algonquin Jaycees back in the late 1960’s. Then it was only a small corner bar at Harrison and Route 62. Algonquin Founders Days luncheons, fund raisers, … Continue reading
My guess is that local and legislative candidates will be courting support at Algonquin’s Port Edward on Monday from 5-8:30. That’s when the McHenry County Republican Central Committee will be raising money to keep its office open and pay other … Continue reading
