Local Business owner, Kevin Petrie, was surprised by a visit from New Lenox Fire Chief Jon Mead and Trustee Roy "Skip" Minger, but it wasn't because he needed the fire department.  The Fire Chief and Trustee President surprised Mr. Petrie with a bronze statue of a firefighter holding a child.

"The statue is a small symbol of our appreciation for the support Kevin Petrie and M.O. Graphics has done and continues to do for the fire district," states Chief Mead. 

 M.O. Graphics designs banners, logos, custom vinyl prints and promotional items. 

"If we have needed something in a hurry, Mr. Petrie has helped us out; he even made a banner for the district in 2 days so we could make a video message for the soldiers.  We felt that his hard work and support should be recognized," Mead added.
