Memorial Day

Memorial Day became a federal holiday in 1971. Here is a look at how Americans have celebrated through the years while also honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

No need to stay home and grill, there is plenty of family fun to be had in the Rockford area this Memorial Day weekend!

The wet weather trend in Rockford continues and worst yet it appears to be impeding the unofficial start to summer.

It'll probably rain anyway, so you might as well go shopping.

I am always happy for a 3 day weekend. Especially when we take time to remember why we have it. Here are a list of activities going on around the area on Memorial Day.

As we head into Memorial Day Weekend, many of us are looking forward to the "Unofficial Start of Summer" for cookouts, pool parties, and other gatherings. That's great, but please remember to take some time to think about what Memorial Day is all about.

We are just a week away from the beginning of summer, start planning your Memorial Day weekend, today!

Memorial Day is approaching and there are plenty of fun, family events and deals that will be happening in Rockford. Slather on the sunscreen and remember those who have died in active military service.
