Imagine Hillsboro

Imagine Hillsboro Imagine citizens of Hillsboro, from all walks of life, working together to build a better future.

Imagine Hillsboro began in May 2015 as a grassroots, not-for-profit, organization that was created by a group of engaged citizens, with the assistance of the MAPPING the Future of Your Community program, part of the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs at Western Illinois University. Imagine Hillsboro strives to engage and mobilize volunteers to revitalize our city through community planning and e

conomic development. Imagine Hillsboro is made up of several committees: Parks and Recreation (with two subcommittees: Central Park and Bikes/Trails), Technology, Events and Festivals, Education, Volunteer, and the Bicentennial Committee, all working in tandem towards a common goal of creating a better future for Hillsboro and its citizens.

Huge thanks to the incredible parents, grandparents, coaches, and grown-ups who poured their time, money, and probably a few tears into making this year's Old Settlers Kiddie Parade an unforgettable success! You dodged the raindrops, rolled with the delays, and kept the magic alive for the kids through it all—you are the real MVPs.

A massive shoutout to our sponsors, Hillsboro Health , Hillsboro Sertoma Club, and Giffin, Winning, Cohen & Bodewes, P.C. - Hillsboro . From donating prize money and providing Junior Board volunteers to setting up tents, handing out cold water during lineup, and letting us commandeer your office space to assemble prize ribbons, we truly could not have pulled this off without you!

See you all next year! 🌧️✨
