If you have never had the opportunity to experience the annual Lake County Fair, I encourage you and your family to go.I grew up in Mundelein, Illinois and the Lake County Fair was an event that my family looked forward to every summer. We went to the fair each day and saw all the events. This year is the 80th Anniversary of the Lake County Fair and the last year that the fair is going to be held at it's current location at Route 120 and Route 45 in Grayslake, Illinois.In the future, The New Lake County Fairgrounds will be located at 1060 E.

I love a good cup of coffee - who doesn't? And a good cup of coffee doesn't have to come from Starbucks. I do go to Starbucks from time to time as well, but I don't know why - when I can get a cup of coffee that I enjoy more from Grinders. When you want something more "local" with a neighborhood feel, Grinders Cafe & Eatery is that kind of place. Located at 82 Center Street in Grayslake, it is in the heart of the historic downtown Grayslake area, on the corner of Center Street and Slusser Street. My wife and I live about four blocks from Grinders and it is one of our favorite walking destinations in the summer. Weather permitting, Grinders has tables with umbrellas outside. If you're not a coffee lover, Grinders also has a variety of other drinks including teas and iced drinks. Their me...

One of our favorite local restaurants is Abel's Pizza and Mexican Food in Grayslake, Illinois. The restaurant is located right in the middle of downtown Grayslake. The address is 125 Center Street, Grayslake Illinois 60030. My wife, Susan, and I frequent Abel's on a weekly basis. Abel's is divided with a wall between the bar and the restaurant. We choose to sit in the restaurant and enjoy the big screen TV. There are big windows across the front of the restaurant too - giving you a nice view of the downtown. Usually we pick out a table, sit down with our cribbage game, and order two margaritas on the rocks, no salt. Abel's serves complimentary chips and spicy salsa. The service at Abel's is always friendly. The atmosphere is casual. We've seen all age groups at the restaurant, including...

If you're looking for an easy answer to a great meal out, try Rudy's Mexican Grill in Grayslake, Illinois. Located at 55 N Barron Boulevard in Grayslake, right on Route 83 just past Center Street. The people working at Rudy's are always friendly, greeting you with a smile on their face when you walk in. The atmosphere is very casual. You would feel comfortable bringing your co-workers there for lunch or your three year old child in for dinner. (That is, if you can get your three old child to eat Mexican food!) There is a Kids Menu as well. There is a daily special, lunch specials, desserts - including fried ice cream. Our favorite appetizer is the fresh guacamole with homemade chips. My wife and I like to order the enchilada special, with your choice of chicken or beef, hot or mild sau...
