The signature book-signing and release event for the history of Woodridge Book, published by Arcadia Publishing, at Woodridge Village Hall Saturday, July 30 brings to light the establishment of Woodridge.
The chief of police played the bagpipes and the mayor, Gina Cunningham, opened the program with the Color Guard presentation of colors and the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance. A free ice cream social was given by Cold Stone Creamery. Mayor Cunningham presented the book author, Jo Fredell Higgins, with the key to the Village. Every seat in Council Chambers was filled. It was a remarkable book-signing.
