We are still here for all the summer magic as July draws to a close

Families can choose from a myriad of events and activities this week in Champaign-Urbana

We know, we know… we’re giving you a lot of back-to-school related items on chambanamoms.com in recent weeks. But that doesn’t change the fact that we’re still enjoying summer fun, like the Champaign County Fair and other one or two day festivals. Or any of the other things happening around town (which you can find on our event calendar no matter what the season). We won’t count the days down until the entire community heads back to school but we will say we will enjoy every day between now and when that day comes!

chambanamoms.com thanks DICK’s House of Sport for presenting this weekend’s planner

DICK’S House of Sport creates confidence and excitement by inspiring, supporting, and personally equipping all athletes to achieve their dreams. Driven by its belief that sports have the power to change lives, DICK’S has been a longtime champion for youth sports and, together with its Foundation, has donated millions of dollars to support under-resourced teams and athletes through the Sports Matter program and other community-based initiatives. We are excited to welcome the House of Sport to the city of Champaign!
