Column: Paramount Theatre’s plans to triple number of shows ‘a game changer’ for downtown Aurora, developer says
Denise CrosbyThe Beacon-News
Leland Legends may not have turned enough of a profit to keep its doors open the last couple of years, but the now-shuttered downtown Aurora restaurant has served up plenty of controversy lately, following Mayor Richard Irvin’s refusal to grant the would-be new operators a liquor license because of a pending violation at another of their establishments.
All of which is tied to even more unexpected news related to the eatery — this one far more positive and perhaps even a “game changer” for downtown Aurora.

Kane County Fair heads into its 150th year with rides, treats and nod to agricultural past
Thursday marked the official start of 150th annual Kane County Fair, offering a taste of the area’s agricultural side, the thrill of carnival rides and the kind of foods for which fairs are known.
Larry Breon, Kane County Fair Board president for the last 25 years, was a Batavia Boys 4-H Club member in his youth and part of the group who put up a flagpole on the current fairground when it opened in 1958 — the same year his champion steer was chosen to go to the Illinois State fair, he said.
