The first-ever Juneteenth coloring contest sponsored by KCC's Center for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion was a success.

Submissions showed a lot of creativity in coloring the sheet, which featured the Juneteenth flag and the words "Juneteenth Freedom Day."

The following participants earned prizes in their age groups (4-6, 7-9, 10-12):

• Saveyah C., age 6
• Allyssa Z., age 7
• Litzy P., age 10

Thank you to all who participated for your creativity. You did a great job!

The KCC grounds crew is adding further beauty to the Riverfront Campus by adding a variety of new trees.

They are planting red cherry, pear, red and white Japanese dogwood, river birch, eastern redbud and American elm.

Shown here, staff plants a pear tree on June 23.

KCC has invited local food trucks to offer lunch on the Riverfront Campus this summer.

Anyone can come take in the beautiful scenery at KCC and enjoy a delicious lunch or snack. Menu items can be purchased while supplies last.

KCC is located at 100 College Drive in Kankakee. Find the Food Truck at the East Pavilion, near the KCC Baseball field. Picnic tables are available nearby, and the area offers a nice view of KCC's north lawn and the Kankakee River.

In May and June, five visits are planned so far:

• Monster Grilled Cheese Food Truck: May 19 & May 26; 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
• Que It Up BBQ: May 24, June 2 & June 9;  11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Additional dates and vendors might be added. All Food Trucks visit dates, times and vendor names are in the KCC events calendar. Look for events with the Food Truck graphic.

KCC’s food service and cafeteria will be closed during the summer term, May 14 - July 29.

While the cafeteria is closed, soda machines and the College Center microwave will be available.

We apologize for any inconvenience. Services will resume Monday, Aug. 1.
