View highlights of Northbrook’s First Annual Illuminate Hot Cocoa Stroll. I love all the new activities the Village of Northbrook is doing to promote downtown businesses. President Katherine Ciesla counted down as the Village Works Department switched on the street lights along Shermer Roead. The fountain is now lit up with a glowing polar bear. Sunset Foods handed out free popcorn from Ron. Winter coats were collected in exchange for this holiday mug. Tons of families attended in Village Green while local businesses were open to start holiday shopping.
