Hey Dyer,
Tree Facts:
As trees age, they become more valuable. Trees
create oxygen, reduce noise pollution, provide shade and
habitat and intercept storm water. They are also known to
lower air conditioning costs by 30%, and they
intercept dust, ash & smoke.
As we gear up for another exciting summer
season we thank you again for all your
continued support of the Dyer Parks and
Recreation Department. This summer we once
again have many fulfilling recreational offerings
for all ages. Our great youth summer camps at
Elmer Miller Park are back again and we have
teamed up with Skyhawks Sports Instruction to
bring you NEW youth sport programs!
In the parks, we have moved forward with
park upgrades for Elmer Miller Park, Sheffield
Estates and now Veterans Park. All three parks
are scheduled to get new playgrounds and
walking paths. Additionally, Hearthstone and
Eberly Parks are currently being developed
with work schedule to be started this year. At
Central Park, the three ball fields will be getting
a makeover to allow for better recreational use.
As these projects happen this summer, please
let us know what you think. We are excited to
see what the future holds for Dyer.
Almost forgot, ladies June 22 is the 4th Annual
Chicks Fun Walk/Run! Don’t forget to sign up
with your mother, daughter, girlfriend, sister,
neighbor or office girls and have a wonderful
time.
Thank you again for your continued support
and remember to take time for recreation.
Have a wonderful summer.
See you all in the parks!
Dane Huebner
Park Board President

and most efficient routing from one point to another. Participants will train in
order to be as fluid, functional and liberated as possible in physical movement
and to overcome physical obstacles. Our program will focus on specific
elements of obstacle course training. Our younger classes are developed to
safely get children moving and exploring the very new world around them,
to inherently build confidence in each step and define their most formative
years with a strong base of control. Our classes will consist of two major
components: conditioning and drilling which include climbing, jumping, and
vaulting while maintaining a fun and challenging atmosphere.

Everyone LOVES the StingRays Rock &
Roll, from Rockabilly – tons of Sixties – to
the 70’s. Their music, great rapport with
audiences and look & moves, have
made them festival favorites throughout
the Midwest – filling dance floors (and
lawns) the entire night.
Born and raised in the Chicago region. Jack
developed an interest in music early on
and has since created a lot of varied music
(indie rock to metal). His musical inspira-
tions and interests are broad and deep but
a roots music influence is always present.
From Chicago blues to Memphis soul to
Americana. He also loves Funk, Folk, and
old religious tunes. Finger picking, sliding,
and shouting, a passionate performer.
