| Yard Rules and Policies Be sure to check the schedule to see when The Yard will be open next. Event dates, times, and themes are tentative and are subject to change at any time. For the most accurate information, check The Yard page on Facebook. Event hours are dusk-2am unless otherwise noted. Themes are more fun when people get involved. So get involved. Be sure to check events for alcohol status. The Yard cannot be held responsible for sober partiers due to lack of preparation. Likewise, it's considered inappropriate to bring your own beer to a kegger. All patrons are encouraged to designate drivers for Yard engagements. The Yard is in a residential neighborhood. Please be respectful of local residents, especially on nice evenings when neighbors may be sleeping with their windows open. Please do not litter in The Yard. This includes cigarette butts and bottle caps. Place all waste in the trash and/or recycling bins provided. This list is not inclusive of all the rules and policies of The Yard. Yard management reserves the right to enforce these rules and remove offending patrons from the premises. Thank you for helping to keep The Yard a safe and fun place to be! |

| Fall Ball @ The Yard Saturday, November 15 .:. Dusk-2am It snowed today in Peoria. I hear it also snowed up Itasca way. So? The leaves in The Yard have this habit of not falling till mid-November anyway. Come celebrate the golden canopy at Fall Ball @ The Yard! Dress warm and get ready to huddle up around the bonfire, with bags and pong for those willing to stray from the heat. Grounds open at dusk, which this time of year will probably be like 5:30 or 6. Hope to see YOU at The Yard! |
