Today we had the opportunity to podcast the keys to great event planning with Margaret Resnick, Deputy Director of the Bolingbrook Park District, on WIPRA-The Voice. The Bolingbrook Park District will be playing host again this year to the Chicago Open, the 2nd largest paintball tournament in the country, on June 22-25.

Listen to the podcast to hear some of the struggles they had last year with planning an event of this size - over 3,000 people were in attendance - and how managing every detail of the event is key to making a successful event. Margaret shares with us points on negotiations, planning, staffing and working with the community.

The Bolingbrook Park District did an excellent job in hosting the Chicago Open last year and this year’s paintball tournament is sure to be another great event!
