A pumpkin decorating contest will help send out the new and improved farmers market Saturday, Oct. 22.

"They have been very receptive to the New Lenox community and compliment me on how much they enjoy being here." Read "New Lenox Says Oui Oui to French Market." The village has also drawn more visitors to …
