Save the Date: Celebrating Flossmoor's Birthday with a Ball Game

On June 10, 1924, a meeting was held in the garage of a large home on Sterling Avenue where the boundaries of Flossmoor were determined and a vote to incorporate as a Village was held. Seventy-eight votes were cast for incorporating; 60 votes were for not incorporating. Ten days later Cook County duly authenticated the matter of incorporation, and the Village of Flossmoor was founded on June 20, 1924.


In honor of the 100th anniversary of this date, the Village of Flossmoor will hold a birthday party celebration on Thursday, June 20. The Take Me Out to the Ball Game / Flossmoor’s 100th Birthday Party will be held in Flossmoor Park (Brassie Avenue and Flossmoor Road) from 4:30-9 p.m. All are invited to celebrate.

Why ball games? One of the most popular and lasting organized forms of recreation in Flossmoor is baseball. The Flossmoor Baseball League formed in the early 1960s as part of the Pony League; softball teams were added in the 1970s. Today’s league continues many of the traditions from that early league, including opening day ceremonies and a parade down Flossmoor Road, which was held this year on April 20. Games and practices in Flossmoor Park continue to be a way for families to come together, make new friends and enjoy their community.
