Thornville is a small community with a big heart. What makes our village special is the sense of community and the pride residents take in where they live. People come together to support local events, look out for their neighbors, and preserve the traditions that make Thornville feel like home. Though we are a small village, we have a strong community spirit that makes it a special place to live, work, and raise a family.
Are there any annual events, traditions, or landmarks your town is especially proud of?
Thornville is proud of its community traditions, especially our annual Fourth of July parade, the Thornville Lions Club Country Fair and the new "Machine Mania" event hosted by our Police Department. These events bring residents, families, and visitors together and reflect the community spirit that makes our village special. We also take pride in our local history and the people and organizations who keep our traditions alive for future generations.


If someone were visiting for the first time, what’s one place or activity they absolutely shouldn’t miss?

What led you to choose FREY Municipal Software for your community’s needs?
As a small village, we need tools that help us manage our responsibilities efficiently while providing reliable service to our residents. We were looking for a municipal software solution that would support our day-to-day operations and meet our community's needs. FREY Municipal offered a solution that aligned with our needs and our goal of continually improving how we serve Thornville.
How has FREY’s software made an impact on your daily operations or residents’ experience?
FREY Municipal is part of our effort to keep village operations organized and serve our residents as effectively as possible. Software designed for our municipal needs supports our administrative work and the services we provide to the community. As a small village where staff members often wear several hats, having the right tools is important to keeping things running smoothly and ensuring we can focus on the needs of our residents.
What would you tell another municipality that’s considering partnering with FREY?
Every municipality has its own needs, but for a small community like Thornville, tools that support our daily operations are important. I would tell them that the customer service FREY provides is TOP NOTCH. No matter the question, the FREY representatives have the answer. I would encourage other municipalities to examine their current processes, identify where they could benefit from better organization and efficiency, and highly recommend FREY for their community. At the end of the day, our goal is to serve our residents well, and having the right resources to support that work makes a world of difference.
