Orland Township Grandparent and Grandchild Dinner Dance

Grandparents and their grandchildren danced the night away in a night full of unforgettable memories.

Grandparents and their grandchildren dressed their best for the annual Grandparent and Grandchild Dinner Dance at Orland Township. The three-hour event consisted of family portraits, fun games (like the Hokey Pokey and the Chicken Dance!), good food, and music enjoyable for all generations.

Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner catered by Salina’s; which consisted of fried chicken and chicken nuggets, baked mostaccioli, mac and cheese, tossed salad with dressing, and cookies for dessert. Then, both grandparents and grandchildren showed off their moves on the dance floor. They also got to compete in a few competitions; like hula-hooping and limbo. Before the night came to an end, the kids even got balloons and coloring posters to take home.

“It’s important that grandparents and their grandchildren create memories that the heart holds forever,” said Supervisor O’Grady. “We are always happily looking for opportunities to provide families with a way to spend a fun evening together.”

Orland Township’s Grandparent and Grandchild Dinner Dance took place on Friday, Oct. 1 in the Orland Township Activity Center.
