Police Hosting Self-Defense Class for Young Women

A quick look at what's happening in and around Burr Ridge today:

• Registration is open for the Hinsdale Police Department's situational awareness and self-defense class for young women in high school and college. The course takes place Wednesday, Aug. 7, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. "This two-and-a-half-hour class will address awareness, alertness, preparation and self–defense techniques that will help in many situations," a release from the police department reads. "Students will spend half of the time in the classroom and the other half learning self-defense techniques, practicing them and then being put in a controlled situation where you will use the techniques that you have learned." To register, contact Officer Michael Coughlin at 630-789-7080 or mcoughlin@villageofhinsdale.org.
• Burr Ridge is going country Friday night for its latest Concert on the Green in the village center. Pamela Rose & Windy City Country is the featured act. Get your blanket and be on the green when the tunes start at 7:30 p.m.!
