Danada Fall Festival

Dan and Ada Rice have and had names as well known in DuPage County as most people, especially since their deaths have turned their Wheaton home into a Forest Preserve District feature. Their names are on public buildings, college facilities, and a major exhibition are at the Art Institute of Chicago. The couples moniker, Danada, is widespread in use in DuPage County. For several years, I have planned to see what their former home was all about. Last week, I did.

Planning to take the grandchildren to see the horses, I was forced to change plans when both Gianna and Joey had fevers and sniffles. But since the Fall Festival is only one day, I decided to check it out for future plans. The 2010 event is already on my calendar!

These two photos are a peek at some of the wonderful seasonal decorations at Danada, provided as a sort of introductory tease. The next post will get into the stars of the show: the horses.
