The Highland Chamber of Commerce held another successful Street Art Fest September 17, 2022, on the Highland square. Korte & Luitjohan Contractors and Windows on Broadway partnered to sponsor artist Catie Whitworth, daughter of K & L Vice President John Whitworth. She was awarded 2nd Place in her division!
In recent years, Korte & Luitjohan Contractors, Inc. has assisted with transporting a vintage steam engine to and from the Latzer Homestead in Highland for the annual Homestead Harvest Days. This year, for the 34th annual event, K & L also sponsored the Living History area. K & L believes in the Highland Historical Society’s mission to preserve and display our rural heritage. There was much to see and do at Homestead Harvest Days, but perhaps this photo best showcases why we’re proud to be a sponsor. Harvest Days was held September 9, 10, and 11, 2022. We’re looking forward to participating again in 2023.
Korte & Luitjohan Contractors, Inc. were hosts for the 26th Annual Golf Scramble benefiting Camp Ondessonk. Nestled among nearly 1,000 acres near the Shawnee National Forest, Camp O, as its often called, was founded in 1959 by the Catholic Diocese of Belleville. Kids ages 8 to 15 can experience a classic summer camp highlighted by canoeing, archery, horseback riding, hiking, and rock climbing. Pete Korte, chairman of K & L, served on the camp’s board of directors from 1995 to 2002. His children and grandchildren attended Camp O, and later served as camp counselors.
Although a steady rain fell in the days leading up to the 2021 golf outing, the sun came out on Saturday, October 16, providing a beautiful day for the 24 teams participating. There were 84 sponsors who graciously donated to the golf scramble.
We thank everyone who helped make it a spectacular day!
