Fun things to do this summer!


There is no denying that everything turned on its axle this year with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has taught the world to view things in a different way and adapt to changes in unique ways. Everything has been tested from the way we learn, work, socialize and dine but that doesn’t mean your whole summer has to be ruined. Here are some ideas to enjoy the Algonquin area this summer.

Good old fashioned picnic at the park
Head to Lake in the Hills Fen Nature Preserve with lunch or dinner from Port Edward Restaurant and enjoy the nearly 500 acres of unspoiled native Illinois landscape. Over a mile of maintained trails wind through three diverse habitats: dry hill prairies, sedge meadows, and rare and beautiful fens. Spread out a blanket, grab your favorite wine and picnic basket and make it memorable with flameless candles or picnic games if you’re entertaining a younger crowd.

Happy camper!
Camping is one of America’s favorite pastimes and for good reason, there’s something peaceful about unplugging in nature and pitching a tent with those closest to you. If camping sounds appealing to you but you’re stuck on menu options, why not order ahead from Port Edward Restaurant! Craving walleye but don’t want to catch it? We’ve got you covered, we’ll do the cooking for you so you can enjoy the campfire s’ mores and making memories.

Host a virtual happy hour
With everything going on with the pandemic you might be missing your closet friends, family members, and summer festivals but that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative. Consider hosting a virtual happy hour. Luckily we are living in a technologically savvy time and it’s fairly easy to set up a time with friends online. Choose a platform, such as Zoom, and have fun! The sky is the limit, consider choosing a theme, celebrating a birthday? Include a sing-along and games, host a trivia game night, a book club, or even a virtual diner party with your favorite takeout meal. Feeling really adventurous? You can visit a museum virtually by sharing screens with your friends? The possibilities are endless, who knows, it might even become your new favorite tradition.

Even though things are different this summer, you can still have fun if you get a little creative! At Port Edward Restaurant we are excited to welcome you back in sharing our million-dollar river view and a revitalized Port Edward.
