Celebrating in Homewood
Homewood celebrations are often home-grown: backyard graduation parties, bridal showers in living rooms, rehearsal dinners and milestone birthdays. The Izaak Walton Preserve and local park district parks give people shaded spots for gatherings, and Homewood-Flossmoor High School graduations set off a wave of May and June parties every year. Evening gatherings in the village often end with guests strolling back to the station, which is a nice detail for rehearsal dinners.
Mature-tree lots give shade but limit tent size. Measure your open space before ordering.
Heating & cooling here: Propane patio heaters need clearance from tent walls, trees and eaves. Plan one heater per 10 to 12 guests on a cold night.
Small private rooms near the station host showers and rehearsal dinners, usually with tight loading.
Heating & cooling here: Venues often have their own fire rules for propane. Electric heaters or forced-air units outside the space may be required.
Local parks and the Izaak Walton Preserve suit casual parties. Check access and reservation rules first.
Heating & cooling here: Many parks restrict open-flame and propane heaters, so ask the park district before you rely on them.
Halls host receptions and fundraisers, often with a fixed load-in time.
Heating & cooling here: Halls are climate controlled, but outdoor smoking or cocktail areas still benefit from one or two heaters.
How to plan
One mushroom patio heater per 15-20 guests, spaced about 10-15 feet apart.
Close the sidewalls and use forced-air heaters, about 1 per 800-1,000 sq ft.
Propane and diesel are usually billed separately by what you use.
