Scarecrow Trail Returns Sept. 21 To Lemont Township Community Center
Locals can head out to the trail any time from Sept. 21 to Oct. 19 and vote for their favorite scarecrow on the trail.

I cover the south/southwest suburbs of Chicago, including Lemont, Homer Glen, Lockport, Frankfort, Bolingbrook and Romeoville. I have a passion for local news and love to delve into each town's issues and community.
