CARPENTERSVILLE – The District 300 Foundation is proud to announce the date for its third annual Cultural Arts on the Fox. This event showcases the talented students of District 300 in the field of visual and performing arts. It will take place along the Fox River on the property of Otto Engineering, the site of the old Illinois Iron & Bolt Foundry in historical Carpentersville, Illinois.  

Tom Roeser, owner of Otto Engineering, was featured on April 2 in CNNMoney: http://money.cnn.com/2013/04/02/real_estate/carpentersville-foreclosure/index.html  - he has changed the face of downtown Carpentersville by restoring the buildings along the Fox River to a pristine level.  A large portion of the original structure has been maintained in these landmark buildings. The new face of Carpentersville is a must see. Tom is now working on restoring the East Dundee area, as well.

The District 300 Foundation welcomes the public to the 2013 Cultural Arts event to see how the Main Street of Carpentersville has been transformed and for an evening of music, drama and visual arts in this picturesque setting.
