UPDATE: The glasses and their owner have been reunited!

Good news! The Village has located a pair of Rx glasses that may belong to the gentleman that misplaced his glasses during the Sesquicentennial Celebration. The problem? I have misplaced the sticky note with his contact information. Please, if you know this person, instruct him to call or stop into the Village Office and hopefully, we can try to reunite him with his glasses. TIA!

Will the magic work in reverse? We have a gentleman who misplaced his glasses on Sunday, near the southwest corner of the Community Center. He placed them on the truck parked next to him while he changed his shirt and then forgot them. Please message the Village if you found them. Thank you!

As part of preparations for Fisher Sesquicentennial's Celebration, the Village made the decision to excavate the community time capsule in advance of the event. This decision was made with public safety in mind, as specialized equipment was required to safely remove the capsule from the ground. Additionally, after many years underground, the condition of the capsule’s contents was uncertain due to groundwater and other environmental factors.

To preserve this historic moment, the entire process—from excavation to the opening, cataloging, and preservation of the contents—was carefully documented. The items recovered from the time capsule will be on display at the Community Building between 1-3 PM on Sunday, July 5th. This display will provide residents with an opportunity to view the contents, identify items contributed by family members, and claim those items through a simple sign-out process which will take place from 3-4 pm that same day.

Any items that remain unclaimed will be included in a new time capsule to be reburied for future generations. Additional details regarding the new time capsule, including how residents can contribute items for its planned opening in 2076, will be announced at a later date.
We recognize the excitement and interest surrounding this special piece of Fisher’s history and appreciate the community’s understanding and support as we work to preserve these memories for generations to come.
