The Posen Park Board voted to cancel carnivals after violence this year, but residents questioned an event permit for Tiffany Henyard.
Posen Park Board President Jody Chmielak reads from the agenda on June 4, 2024, before the board voted to cancel future carnivals in the south suburban village due to safety concerns. Posen residents voiced their opinions to Park Board members Tuesday about issues they saw firsthand during the the Park District carnival’s four-day run, but some also questioned why Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany Henyard, the embattled Dolton mayor, was given a permit for a park event.
Susan Adema told the board said she was disappointed about the end of the carnival, which she said went on for years without issues until it started up again after a COVID-19 pandemic-induced pause. Whitcomb said the Park Board will look to make up for the loss of revenue from the festival and bring together residents with smaller, one-day events that are less likely to draw people from outside the area.
