Village president asks everyone to help out others around them who might be less fortunate this holiday season.
During the annual Christmas walk on Dec. 7, the festivities kicked off with the lighting of the village Christmas tree. Village president Brian LeClercq had an assist from the Borden family, whose house burned down earlier this year. “They don’t have a tree or a place to celebrate. We want to help them light this beautiful tree and make sure they understand that Oswego is the greatest place to live and we’re a great community,” said LeClercq. LeClercq asked everyone in attendance to remember all those who are a little less fortunate than they might be this holiday season. “If you all could do me a favor this year,” said LeClercq, “if you could call your neighbors or friend and just give them a hug or be there for them they’d probably …

The evergreen is also a living memorial honoring the men and women from Kendall County who have served and continue to serve the country.

We should keep the memory alive of all of those who are serving and who served.” The Veterans Assistance …

It was much larger and nicer, but I'm assuming that its location next to Rte. 34 made it difficult for traffic control when all the people who showed up suddenly wanted to go downtown.
