Please join us on Tuesday, March 25 at 6 PM in the Forsyth Public Library Community Room for our 2025 Candidate Forum. You will hear from the candidates running for Village Trustee about their vision for the community. You can also submit a question ahead of time that you would like to have answered. Due to time constraints, not every question may be asked - but we hope to get through the majority of them. If you have a question that you would like asked, please submit it to Jill at japplebee@forsyth-il.gov.
With the predicted forecast, we will cancel tonight's Golf Cart registration. With that, we have added one more night (April 15). So, your current sticker is good until April 15. Stickers for 2025 are red, so you MUST get a new sicker!
*IF TUESDAYS DON'T WORK, PLEASE CALL TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.

The village of Forsyth has issued a snow emergency, beginning at 12:01 p.m. Sunday, which prohibits parking on all village streets. The Forsyth Deputies have the authority to tow any vehicle parked on a village street in violation of this declared snow emergency. Violators will be subject to parking fines and all fees associated with towing.
❄️Plan for snow accumulation and removal.
🚨All parked cars must be off road by Saturday at noon.
🚨We will pre-salt Saturday through the day.
🚨Plow main roads Sunday (time depends on accumulation)
🚨We'll try to get every road done by Sunday evening and then be back in at 3am Monday to help get you all to work.
🚨Of course it all depends on how heavy and how fast it comes!
🚨Please use caution, give plows room- and give us some patience!

Thank you to everyone who stopped to visit us at Hobby Lobby for the 2024 Mayoral Challenge Salvation Army Bell Ringing Day! We love to be involved and helping our community ❤️❤️
With the winter weather coming, here are some things to remember:
- Limb and leaf pick up is done for the season
- All bathrooms in parks are closed except for those at the HS diamonds (4/5)
- Please remember when it snows to keep your cars, equipment, etc. off the roads. Our snow crew must be able to get through safely in order to complete your neighborhood!
Mayor Peck and friends will ring the Salvation Army bell from 10:00 am-5:00 pm this Saturday (December 14) at Hobby Lobby! If you can't make it, here is a link to donate virtually!

With the South Lot closed, parking will be a bit more difficult- but it is still there! You can see on the map:
*Guest Parking will be at the North Lot and up and down Forsyth Parkway on the west side.
*Vendor Parking ONLY will be on the south side field by the event.
*Handicapped Parking with sticker will be at the main gate.
We will have a golf cart going from North Lot to the event to help those who need assistance!
We appreciate your help and understanding to make this work!
What a great day for Sheen Beauty Spa! Their ribbon cutting was AMAZING. Make sure to check them out!
