October Business of the Month

Keith's Car Care

Congratulations to Keith’s Car Care for being recognized as the Economic Development Commission Business of the Month for October. Serving the Oswego community since 1985, Keith’s Car Care is known for "fixing everything automotive" – offering everything from general maintenance to 24-hour towing and U-Haul rentals.

Keith and Diana Wolff have deep roots in Oswego, raising their five children here and giving back through various community programs like the Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce, Kendall County Food Pantry and the Coats for Kendall annual coat drive. Thank you to Keith’s Car Care for nearly 40 years of dedication to our community!

Keith’s Car Care is located at 78 Stone Hill Rd in Oswego. Learn more about this local business and other Business of the Month award winners [ [link removed] ].

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!

* If you are trick-or-treating after dark, use reflective tape on costumes and carry a flashlight.
* Young children should be accompanied by a responsible adult while out.
* Children should go out in groups rather than by themselves.
