Montessori Children’s House
of North Barrington Teams
Up With CFC
On November 5, the Montessori Children’s House of North
Barrington (MCHNB) hosted an educational presentation by
Citizens for Conservation (CFC). MCHNB has spent the last
two years developing and enhancing its outdoor classroom for
students. Susan Lenz, an expert from CFC, gave a presentation
devoted to native birds and their wildlife habitats. The students
watched birds, learned about characteristics of birds, and observed different types of bird eggs and nets. Lenz also shared
differences between migrating and residential birds, as well as
nocturnal birds. For more information about MCHNB, visit www.

Barrington Celebrates a New Holiday
Tradition
A line of Barrington ornaments were designed by Susan
McConnell Photography and Laura Knecht Calligraphy.
From Friday, December 6 to Sunday, December 8, Barrington experienced the
launch of ChristKindlFest. Inspired by its larger counterpart in downtown Chicago,
the Fest featured an array of local area vendors, restaurants and breweries, and
entertainment for all ages. Housed in a heated tent, the audience was entertained
by everything from rock bands to bell choirs. Joining 250 other sites in America,
Barrington High School Band Director, Randy Karon, directed 30 area tuba players
in Barrington’s first Merry TubaChristmas. ChristKindlFest also had a Gingerbread
House competition in which culinary schools competed for the top prize. In the
weeks leading up to the fest, participating merchants displayed entries and had
visitors vote to select the winners. Children and their families had the opportunity
to pose for photos with reindeers and enjoy a carousel and other rides. The Barrington Rotary Clubs sponsored BHS Interact Club surpassed its goal of preparing
10,000 meals for hungry children in Guatemala. Barrington Breakfast Rotary Club
and the Barrington Village Association would like to thank the volunteers, vendors,
entertainers, and Diamond sponsors: BMO Harris Bank, Barrington Area Commu-

Holiday Swag & Sip
The Women of Wellness Place "wowed" friends and horses
alike, as they presented the first ever "Swag & Sip" for Wellness
Place this holiday season. John Pappas, Sarah Grubner, and the
staff at Shamrock Farms in Barrington Hills opened up their
stables for a unique venue in which Wellness Place supporters browsed and purchased fresh cut holiday greens and decor
while snacking on a beautiful assortment of equestrian and
holiday-themed refreshments. Barrington High School's Madrigal Singers provided an added touch of sight and sound prior to
heading off to Washington D.C. to sing at the White House.
