We stopped by Fox Valley Community Services today to help call a few games of BINGO!
We quickly learned this is a pretty intense crowd when BINGO is on the line! 😂 We had a great time sharing some laughs, visiting with everyone, and spending time with some familiar faces.
Thank you to Fox Valley Community Services for always making us feel welcome. We’re grateful for every opportunity to get out into the community and spend time with the people we serve!

Well, unfortunately, the 2026 Sandwich Fair is drawing to a close!
We had a great time connecting with so many familiar faces and meeting plenty of new ones throughout the week. We are incredibly proud to have such a great, long running tradition right here in our amazing city.
A huge thank you to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office for everything they do to help keep the fair safe and enjoyable each year. We would also like to thank the Sandwich Fire Department, Sandwich EMA, and of course, all of the wonderful people who work so hard to make the Sandwich Fair possible.
It is truly an honor to serve such a wonderful community and so many great people. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hello, and helped make the 2026 Sandwich Fair another great one!
Until next year! 🎡🚔
