While some suburbs scale back or drop festivals, Tinley Park Ribfest is expanding
TINLEY PARK, Ill. -- Fireworks and festivals are in full swing days away from the July 4th holiday—yet as people get ready to celebrate, some communities have scaled back due to safety woes.But Tinley Park is bucking that trend, with no plans whatsoever to cut festivities. Preparations were under Friday for the Tinley Park Ribfest.'Where other towns are canceling, we are not,' said Tinley Park Mayor Michael Glotz. 'We're going forward with this event like we had last year.
At the start of June, the south suburban Posen Park Fest shut down abruptly, and police arrested several people, after large fights broke out and caused safety concerns.'If you going to come here to Tinley Park, and you're going to try to disrupt anything, we're going to arrest you,' said Tinley Park Village Manager Pat Carr.The warning is meant for anyone thinking Tinley Park Ribfest is a place to act up.
