The Whiteside Forum Returns for 2026

SHARE NOW

The Whiteside Forum will host Barb and Phil Benson, local world travelers, who will talk about their adventures in Europe last year visiting the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia and their week in Istria, Croatia. The title of their talk is “European Family Vacation” and will be presented on Sunday January 25th, in the Community Room of the Odell Public Library starting at 2:00pm.

This will be more than just a travelogue and you won’t want to miss hearing how 10 people of all ages travelled by car and van through less visited parts of Europe. The Odell Public Library is located at 307 S. Madison St. in Morrison and all Forum events are free and open to the public.

For more information about this event or the Whiteside Forum you can contact Marc Adami by email at [email protected] or text 815-718-5347.
