Join us for some fun at the fire house tomorrow from 10 a.m. to noon!

Lights! Camera! Action! We're looking for two Oak Forest families to star in our next round of Living Oak Forest advertising. Interested? Email a family photo to cityofoakforest@oak-forest.org by September 13 to be considered. Filming will begin at the end of the month and will require only a few hours of your time. In return, you will receive professional photos from the shoot and be the face of Oak Forest in our 2018 ads in Metra and CTA stations and regional billboards. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
