"This park should be filled with people. If this were the Taste of Chicago, we now how many people would be here. Now, we're offering health care and education information, and it's hard to get people out," said Democrat and Illinois Rep. William Davis of the 30th district.
Davis and other state leaders are urging families to make sure their children are ready for school, and they say events like the Dolton festival can help those who have been hurt by the tough economy.
