Honk for Seniors Car Caravan This Thursday

Many of our high school seniors have finished up their final exams and are preparing for virtual graduation. In the meantime, we're excited to present our "Honk for Seniors Car Caravan" in their honor. Over 150 high school seniors who live in the Village have signed up for a drive-by salute this coming Thursday, the 28th. Before that, on Tuesday and into Wednesday, Village personnel will deliver a yard sign and mini swag-bag to all registrants. Please display your sign prominently in your yard. On Thursday, beginning at 10 am, keep an eye and ear out for a procession led by Mayor Cunningham to wind down your street. This is a procession expected to last several hours, and we will get to everyone. Can't wait to see you! All participants should have received an email containing details.
