everyone in a happy mood some to the point of
getting up and dancing. Everyone really enjoyed the

Mayor Kris Wasowicz, Clerk Kathy Svoboda

tradition of providing these twice annual luncheons
to honor our senior citizens and to recognize the
contributions they have made to the village and to
society as a whole in years past.
They also would like to thank the many people and
organizations that made this event possible through
either their time, monetary or gift donations.
The Village of Justice is happy to announce the new
digital billboard, by Clear Channel Outdoor, is up
and running.
The billboard is located on Frontage Road in the
Justice Firestone
property. It is directed at the southbound I-294
traffic but can be seen from Archer Road coming from
Willow Springs and from Frontage Road.
Trustee Kranig, who heads the committee for the
Building Department, worked out an agreement with
Clear Channel. In this agreement, along with the
standard permit fees, Clear Channel is providing 25k
seconds of advertising, in the standard 10 seconds
spots, per year for the life of the sign. This is a huge benefit to the Village as we can use
those spots to advertise events within the village.
Events like the Ethnic Fest and the weekly Saturday
Cruise Night at Craigor's II when it resumes. This
in turn will help bring people into the village for
those events and hopefully bring sales tax dollars
with them.
Clear Channel Outdoor
went live
with the billboard the week
before Thanksgiving. Our webmaster provided them
with artwork of the new village marquee; they in
turn had a Thanksgiving message that was played on
the digital billboard. (see picture above)
On November 28th the Village message was changed to
read "Happy Holidays".
On December 26th the Village message was changed
to read "2009 Happy New
Year". If you wish to view it live
it can be seen on Frontage Road from the Quick Pick
Food and Liquors parking lot. This message will run
through January 4, 2009. It is the same artwork for the holidays that is used on the Village homepage banner.
The Village Webmaster produced all of the artwork for
the new years message including the background. The
village now has full control over the appearance,
message and the times for display.
The Village is proud to make this announcement and
believes that it will benefit us all.
It's another achievement of the present
administration, under Mayor Wasowicz, in moving the
Village forward in a proactive, positive direction.
On Saturday, December 20th, Santa
came to town early to make his annual
pre-Christmas ride through the Village.
Santa waved to residents while ridding atop on one of the Roberts Park
Fire Protection District fire trucks. With
sirens blaring to call to all the children
big and small to let them know that Santa is
here and to be good boys and girls because
Christmas is just around the corner!
The Roberts Park Fire Protection District
continued its' long standing tradition of
escorting Santa around the village. They
drove up and down every street within the
village, in a parade, to help Santa bring
his message to all of good cheer, peace on
earth and good will towards man, not only
during the holidays but all year long!
Happy Holidays!
