​Despite the terrible weather, many came to the cemetery to enjoy both are regular and more advanced scavenger hunt. While rain poured and the wind howled, visitors enjoyed hot cocoa sponsored by Everett Wealth Solutions before and after venturing off see the interesting historical sites that Forest Home Cemetery holds. Quite a number were successful in their endeavors and came away with prizes, including candy and our Desplaines River Anthology book.
