As we are reminded by American flags flying in yards throughout Mahomet, this week begins with Memorial Day, a day to honor those who gave their lives in military service to our country. Thank you to all veterans and their families for your sacrifices!
We also consider this week the unofficial start to summer in Mahomet, and the calendar reflects that. Below, we have highlighted signature summer events, as well as other happenings around town.
Mahomet Parks & Rec is kicking things off with its Splash Into Summer event on Monday, May 25 at Barber Park (11 a.m.-1 p.m., 703 MacDougal Road).
