The Wadsworth Area Pageant is this Sunday at Prairie Trail School at 2pm. Details of this most worthwhile program are below.

Our Fall Festival and Pig Roast is coming up on September 16th in the village park so you might want to mark your calendar. New this year is a salsa contest! Below, we present some of the basic information but in a few days more details will be sent to you in another newsletter.

Our fire department has address markers available for $20. What's an address marker? It's a small sign attached to a stake that is pushed into the ground at the end of your driveway. It has REFLECTIVE numbers that can be seen from both sides so it's really helpful in the dark in the headlights from an emergency vehicle.

Therefore, if you have an emergency and call 911, they can find you quickly. Call our fire department at 847-336-1080 for more information or to order one.

The fire department will install it so all you have to do is call.

Wadsworth Area Pageant-

The 2017 Wadsworth Area Pageant will take place this Sunday, September 10, at Prairie Trail School on Wadsworth Road just east of Delany Road at 2 p.m. The public is welcome and admission is free.

Participation in the pageant is a wonderful growth opportunity for the girls. K nown locally as our Queens, they represent the village in a variety of functions and events throughout the year. We see them grow and mature and watch young girls become young adults with a sense of pride and accomplishment because they gave back something important to their community. You watch them become givers, not merely takers.

If you can, come out and support them because they will be supporting us. If you're a parent or a grandparent, you might want to attend to see what it's all about for next year or the year after.

This is truly an outstanding program that we have supported for many years. I guarantee you'll be proud of these young people.
