Orland Township “Off to the Races”

Residents invited to Senior Group Outing at Hawthorne Race Course this Summer.

Ready to witness the next Secretariat? Orland Township is offering an evening of hospitality, happiness, & horse racing this Summer! Hawthorne Race Course, located at 3501 S. Laramie in Stickney, IL., is the oldest recurrently run family-owned racetrack in North America and will open its doors for the Township’s Senior Group Outing on Friday, September 10th, 2021.

Tickets for the Senior Group Outing can be purchased from Orland Township, 14807 S. Ravinia Ave., Orland Park, IL., starting on June 25. Cost is $40.00 for residents and $45.00 for non-residents.

Bets can be placed onsite, and attendees are asked to adhere to the business casual dress code. Shuttle service will be provided, with the bus departing from the lot at 151st & 94th Avenue at 5:00 p.m. and returning around 10:00 p.m. once the event concludes.
