energies and attention to bigger problems. Trustee Prochno congratulated Mike Loesch of the
Fire Department and Bob Alvarez, CERT volunteer coordinator, for helping the Village out in a
time of need.
Trustee Prochno reported on the Little Boots Rodeo. Jack Groat is the vision behind the Little
Boots Rodeo. It was always his dream to have a Rodeo for children. This was the fourth year
the Little Boots Rodeo was held. The Rodeo was expanded to two days this year and was held
on the grounds of Prince of Peace Church located at Arlington Heights Road and Devon Avenue.
There was little to no charge for the children to participate. Everyone had to bring a food item to
donate to the Elk Grove Township Food Pantry. Thousands of items were collected.
The Rodeo offers ten non-competitive events for the children to participate in. Once they have
completed all the events their name is announced and they are declared an official cowboy or
cowgirl.
Organizations within the Community volunteered their time working some of the events. Any
money collected at the Rodeo was then donated to the Organizations which helped with the
event. A check for $1,000.00 was presented to the Lioness Club and $1,100.00 was given to the
Community Character Coalition. Congratulations to Jack Groat and the Little Boots Rodeo!
