D300 Foundation Cultural Arts on the Fox

CARPENTERSVILLE – The District 300 Foundation for Educational Excellence is proud to announce its 2nd Annual D300 Foundation Cultural Arts on the Fox.  This event will take place along the Fox River in the newly renovated buildings in historical Carpentersville, Illinois.  The property where this celebration will take place is the site of the old Illinois Iron & Bolt Foundry on the banks of the Fox River.

Tom Roeser, owner of Otto Engineering, has renovated this property at 11 West Main in Carpentersville and worked to restore this building to a pristine level. The original bricks from the Illinois Iron & Bolt Foundry were washed, turned and used at the current site.  A large portion of the original structure is incorporated into the current design of this building.

The workmanship in each room is really breath taking and is a definite must see. This historical site will be the setting for our Cultural Arts Event and will show case some of the work our high school students are doing in voice, music, drama and visual arts.
