BACOA/Garlands Summer Lecture Series: The Art of Norman Rockwell

19 Jun 2013 15:00:00 GMT

The Garlands of Barrington
1000 Garlands Lane
Barrington
Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 10 – 11:30am

Regarded as the most popular painter in America during his lifetime, Norman Rockwell has endured in the memories of people who enjoyed the covers he painted for The Saturday Evening Post for nearly 60 years.

Art professor and historian Jeff Mishur will discuss the development of Rockwell from his earliest days at The Post to his popular illustrations for Look and Life magazines. His appeal in the present day is based almost entirely on commercially produced reproductions of his work on everything from posters to coffee mugs. Mishur believes that it is for this very reason that we should take a closer look at the achievements of Norman Rockwell to reach a better understanding of his importance in American history.

The summer lecture series is presented by the Harper College Continuing Education Lifelong Learning Institute and co-sponsored by the Barrington Area Council on Aging and The Garlands of Barrington.

Cost is $10. For more information or registration, call BACOA at (847) 852-3892.

BARRINGTON CHAMBER WILL HOST 27th ANNUAL GOLF CLASSIC JULY 15

The Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) will host its 27th annual Barrington Golf Classic on Monday, July 15 at the beautiful Inverness Golf Club. Inverness is a private, PGA tournament course that will also host the Illinois Open Championship prior to the Golf Classic, so the course will be in pristine condition.

The best-ball, four-person scramble has a shotgun start of 12:30pm and welcomes golfers of all skill levels; the roster will be limited to 120. The BACC Golf Classic is open to Chamber members and the public.

The day’s festivities begin at 11:00am when the practice green opens and buffet lunch served for players, sponsors and guests. Golfers will encounter games, giveaways and refreshments all along the course and throughout the day. Contests include Hole-in-One, Putting, Hole Game, Beat the Junior Pro with BACC Scholarship winner Charles Derrick, and many other team activities.

Following 18 holes of play, golfers will gather back at the clubhouse for the putting contest, 19th Hole celebration, dinner and awards ceremony.

Individual fee of $250 or $900 per foursome includes greens fee and cart; all contests and prizes; team photo, lunch and dinner; and hospitality gift bag. Non-golfers and spouses are invited, too, and can enjoy the 19th Hole celebration and dinner for $75.

The major sponsor of the 2013 Golf Classic is BMO Harris Bank. All hole sponsorships are already spoken for; there are other sponsorships for various contests, 150-yard markers and the Eagle package that includes a round of play for a foursome and a host of promotion opportunities, are still available.

Proceeds from the Barrington Golf Classic benefit the Lauren Brown Memorial Scholarship fund and the local business community, and help support BACC community programs all year.

The Golf Classic offers some exciting prizes for 2013, including an eight-day Hawaiian vacation for the Hole-in-One contest. Some of the prizes already donated for the silent auction with several themed packages.

With a limited field of play, interested individuals and foursomes should register soon: online at business.barringtonchamber.com… by email to Christina Keeley, Director of Events for the Chamber, at events@barringtonchamber.com; or call the Chamber office, 847-381-2525.
