Candidates trickle in to run for school, library and park board races in April 2013 election; some vacancies still remain.
Oak Lawn residents appear satisfied with how the public schools, parks and library are being run in the village. All of the local races in the upcoming consolidated election on April 9, 2013 are uncontested. “I tend to look at it that people are okay and happy,” Dist. 229 Superintendent Dr. Michael Riordan said. “Usually when things are in turmoil, that’s when people jump in.” The deadline for filing nominating petitions for all local races was at 5 p.m. Dec. 26. The last chance to file a challenge against a candidate's filing petitions is Jan. 3. The Oak Lawn Village Board offers the only contested races, with ten candidates filing petitions for village trustee seats in Districts 1, 2, 4 and 6. The mayoral and village clerk seats are also…

Oak Lawn Park District's third annual Woofstock doggie fest was a howling success. See the photo gallery and video.
More than 100 two-legged and four-legged revelers showed up at Bailey's Crossing Dog Park for Woofstock. Follow Oak Lawn Patch on Facebook. The third annual party in the park for people and dogs was hosted by the Oak Lawn Park District on Saturday. Dogs and their peeps visited with each and checked out the vendors. There were doggie dashes, an owner-dog look-alike contest, and competitions to see who could do the most tricks in 30 seconds. Check out the gallery and video. Please add your own photos and video.
