The Village of Webster’s Fall in Love With Webster month-long community celebration has begun! All month, residents and visitors will enjoy merchant discounts and special events, all embracing the theme of love.
The goal is to promote a fun way to unify the village residents and business owners. But it’s also all about helping community members get to know our village a little better, find out more about our many fine businesses, and encourage everyone to get more involved in all of the activities found here.
Here’s what’s coming up this week. Check back this weekend to see what’s scheduled for week 3. And for a whole list of the month’s events, visit the Fall in Love With Webster Facebook page.

The statement on the signs,
“WHERE LIE IS WORTH LIVING ”
Is idiotic and so dated to a more naive time.
How about, Where all are welcome.
Or , Where All are neighbors
I love that idea! You should go to a village board meeting and propose that.
