Some Barrington residents’ Memorial Day celebration included taking part in the “Front Porch Cookout.”
The three-hour event Monday, which began at 5 p.m., encouraged participants to “stay with your family units and practice social distancing, but greet your neighbors and friends and celebrate the beginning of summer,” according to announcement of the event posted on the village’s website.
