On Saturday, Aug. 7, the Lombard Park District welcomed children and their families to the Bounce Back to School event at Lombard Common. In addition to featuring seven bounce houses for children ages 3-12, the free event included the balloon artistry of Acrodazzle Entertainment’s BJ Macias. Those who waited in line for one of Macias’s creations included sisters Maya and Desi Jakacki, along with their mother Jackie. Macias is pictured while handing a mermaid to Maya (age 4). Desi (almost 3 years old), who is in the background, received a princess wand.
