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!

As Halloween rapidly approaches, help ensure your child’s safety with these quick tips.

1. Make sure masks don’t block children’s front and side vision.
2. If you are trick-or-treating after dark, use reflective tape on costumes and carry a flashlight.
3. Young children should be accompanied by a responsible adult while out.
4. Children should go out in groups rather than by themselves.

Recommended trick-or-treating hours are 3:30 to 8 p.m. Have a spooktacular Halloween!
