Embers one of Lockport’s<br />
bright spots after rising<br />
from building’s ashes<br />
Located in the heart of<br />
Lockport, Embers Tap<br />
House is one of the area’s<br />
most popular spots.<br />
Embers Tap House was<br />
born in June 2015, with its<br />
opening at the very start<br />
of Canal Days. The Volz<br />
Building sat empty for eight<br />
years after a fire destroyed<br />
the building, leaving a vacancy<br />
in the revitalization<br />
of downtown Lockport.<br />
Through a collaborative effort<br />
with the community,<br />
Embers rose from the ashes<br />
to become an anchor on<br />
State Street.<br />
Employing more than 75<br />
people from the community,<br />
designed and built from<br />
all local contractors, with<br />
materials sourced from<br />
local businesses, Embers<br />
is here for the community<br />
and continues to give<br />
back to the community.<br />
The unique and historical<br />
ambiance creates the perfect<br />
backdrop for the next<br />
formal event or the next<br />
casual drink with friends.<br />
For those looking for a<br />
unique and versatile private<br />
space to host the next<br />
party, celebration, bash<br />
or formal event, Embers<br />
Banquet Center offers the<br />
perfect solution. Embers’<br />
naturally historic yet chic<br />
room is unique, comfortable<br />
and spacious enough<br />
for many types of events.<br />
Its expansive and exceptional<br />
menu allows one to<br />
supplement the celebration<br />
with cuisine and service to<br />
complement distinct tastes<br />
and styles. In addition to its<br />
popular to-go catering menu,<br />
Embers’ banquet space can<br />
accommodate anywhere<br />
from 30 to 150 people. Its<br />
experienced event coordinator,<br />
Theresa Wolf, prides<br />
herself in taking great care in<br />
perfecting each of Embers’<br />
events and looks forward to<br />
working with new customers<br />
soon.<br />
The natural historical elements,<br />
combined with the<br />
contemporary and rustic<br />
design, will have everyone<br />
in awe. With a menu and<br />
bar full of character and<br />
delectable charm, as well<br />
as friendly, comforting<br />
service, Embers soon is to<br />
become a favorite stop.<br />

and life-sized displays that will transform<br />
the Commons into a winter wonderland.<br />
Santa Claus is to stand nearly 40 feet tall,<br />
with 18,500 LED lights, and his special<br />
mailbox to the North Pole will sit at his<br />
feet. Visitors will have the opportunity to<br />
mail letters to Santa, and all letters mailed<br />
by Dec. 17 will receive a response from<br />
St. Nick.<br />
Also returning to the Commons will be<br />
a synthetic ice skating rink, presented in<br />
part by the New Lenox Community Park<br />
District. Standard skates can be used on<br />
the rink, and guests are encouraged to<br />
bring their own skates, though a limited<br />
supply will be available to rent during select<br />
hours.<br />
New to Christmas in the Commons<br />
this year is a holiday market, taking place<br />
weekends from Dec. 3 through Dec. 23.<br />
Guests will find a new variety of vendors<br />
each weekend, offering homemade and<br />
artisanal wares for sale. People can stop<br />
by to find unique gifts for family and<br />
friends while supporting small businesses<br />
in a beautiful holiday atmosphere.<br />
All the fun begins Dec. 3 with the<br />
Christmas in the Commons Kick-off<br />
Celebration from 2-6 p.m. in the Village<br />
Commons. The kick-off will include a<br />
visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, an appearance<br />
by Santa’s reindeer, holiday performances<br />
and more. The day will culminate<br />
with the official throwing of the<br />
switch to light up the Commons with the<br />
holiday lights.<br />
Additional details on Christmas in the<br />
