It's the Most Wonderful (and Busiest!) Time of Year!
We Are Oglesby is so excited for our 3rd Annual Winter Parade, a cherished community tradition, and this year, we’re making it even more special! For the first time, we’re hosting a Business Open House and Tree Lighting Ceremony, creating an unforgettable start to the holiday season. We can't wait for you to join us in celebrating the magic of winter together!
Volunteers are essential to making the parade a success—consider lending a hand from 4–6 PM to direct entries, attach assigned numbers, and organize participants into lineups. Your support ensures the event runs smoothly and showcases the best of Oglesby!
At our December meeting, We Are Oglesby will proudly welcome some new officers to lead us into the coming year. This transition is an exciting chapter for our organization as we continue to grow!
