The Fête Society (also known as The Boughee Crew) announces the adoption of its official name.
Fête: (noun) an elaborate party, often outdoors; a celebration; (verb) to celebrate; to throw a party; to carouse; to extol; to make merry; to revel.
Society: (noun) a group broadly distinguished from other groups by mutual interests; an association of persons engaged in a common activity or interest.
Why this name?
The Fête Society is an association of friends and associates who share a common interest – having a good time – and engage in a variety of merry-making activities. We celebrate the change in seasons, the progression of life and the success of our friends; and we revel in the splendor of life, music, wine and spirits. Join us for Été Bourgeois, part deux.

Fairmount Park (Horse Track)
Located just on the other side of the river in Collinsville, IL, this race track hosts FUN activities all summer long. A small contingent of the 'Crew' visited last year and we had a ball. We placed a few bets, ate some wings, enjoyed the 80's band. I highly recommend we go at least once a month throughout the summer.
