Extreme heat causes postponement of June 21 Sunrise Park grand opening and Live at White Pines events

The Bensenville Park District has postponed the Sunrise Park grand opening and the Live at White Pines Cars, Cornhole and Cocktails events

BENSENVILLE, Ill. (June 19)—Due to the forecasted excessive heat, the Bensenville Park District has postponed the Sunrise Park grand opening and the Live at White Pines Cars, Cornhole and Cocktails event featuring Gallery—The Classic Rock Experience, both originally scheduled for Saturday, June 21.

The decision was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety and well-being of community members, participants and staff. The Sunrise Park grand opening was scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to noon, and the Live at White Pines event from 4 to 7:30 p.m.

“Community safety is our top priority,” said Executive Director Joseph Vallez. “With the extreme temperatures expected, it would not be responsible to ask patrons to attend outdoor events that may put their health at risk.”
