4 FOR THE WEEKEND
Yeee-Haaaaw
Well, that’ll wake you up in the morning.
It’s that time of year again, after a 1-year hiatus because of you-know-what. Time to put on yer boots, fetch yer straw hat and mosey on down to the county fair.
(We’re not entirely sure why we’ve broken into our best Jed Clampett routine, but we’re kinda likin’ it.)
For whatever reason, we think county fairs are a blast. You should, too.

Lord, What Fools These Mortals Be!
We were thinking about doing this whole bit in Shakespearese. You know, a lot of “forsooth’s” and “by my troth’s” and stuff.
But we thought better of it. You’re welcome.
But Shakespeare in the park sounds pretty darn nice to us. So get thee to Geneva, you dogs, lest ye feel the back of my hand! (Sorry.)

Ever Wondered, What Exactly Is A “Foghat?”
Welp, whatever it is, it’s celebrating its 50th anniversary at the Arcada this Saturday.
You really have to admire rockers who stick to it well into middle age. No, we’re serious. Whether you’re a rock aficionado or not, you have to admit that it’s a form of music that is physically demanding to play. To keep it up for 50 years is really something.
So check them out in St. Charles this Saturday.

Not For Catholics Only, Redux
So, we recommended this last week. Let us explain.
Because the Fox Valley has suddenly gone from being Death Valley to Noah’s Playground, last weekend’s performances of Nunsense, which were supposed to be held outdoors in Wing Park, were moved at the last minute to the Hemmens. So, we assume many who were all set to go to Wing Park just bagged the whole thing.
This weekend, all three shows are in the Hemmens, and you’ve had plenty of warning. So go see the bloody thing, ok?

Your weekly weekend weather advisory is actually looking a bit better this weekend, for what that’s worth. A bit cloudy, perhaps, but rain probabilities are low and not too hot. Plan accordingly.
If, for whatever reason, none of our fabulous four events doesn’t pop your cork, we’ll be very insulted. However, all hope is not lost. Simply go to www.foxvalleymagazine.com and check out our A+E and Events sections for other ideas.
Finally, please do us a favor. We would be eternally grateful if you could share this with some of your unsuspecting family, friends and neighbors. We’d also appreciate some love on our Facebook page (see below). Ok, technically it’s a “LIKE,” but don’t be pedantic. Also, that’s actually two favors. We’ll owe you.
Thanks for reading. Until next time…OH! One more thing. If you’re reading this via the website and would like to have this emailed to you bright and early every Friday morning, please SUBSCRIBE!
