    "Very family oriented, friendly, safe, and both excellent elementary and high school districts. The small downtown area harkens back to days of old when you knew every store owner, restauranteur, police officer, and firefighter. Neighbor’s help and look out for one another. Cary is not very diverse, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t welcome newcomers. "

    "I don't attend so I have nothing to contribute to this answer. but I do love mchenry county! I think it's nice that some events are hosted ...but they could be more enticing via marketing and higher budget fests, with rides and fundraisers & the like. Just some ideas where I feel community could be built stronger if the people in charge made the right moves. "
