Thank you to Keith’s Car Care for nearly 40 years of dedication to our community!

Art in action
CAC Silos
This fall, the Cultural Arts Commission (CAC) contracted local artist Jason Wats to transform the three silos located at the intersection of Adams and Van Buren into vibrant works of art.
Work on the project began in early October and is expected to continue through mid-November. The design will celebrate the natural beauty of the Fox River while honoring the rich history of Oswego, creating a striking visual tribute to the community’s heritage.
Make sure to visit downtown to see the transformation unfold!
