4 FOR THE WEEKEND
where we actually recognize the holiday between Halloween and Christmas.
So let’s get to it, starting with…..
We Made It!
Last week, we promised the last Halloween/Pumpkin Fest events until next year.
And here we are!
Look, nothing wrong with Halloween/Pumpkin Fest activities. We love Halloween, and we can live with pumpkins.
But it does get a little oppressive, you have to admit.
So let’s start this one off with a little theatre…

Ok, We Know What You’re Thinking…
…this is a Halloween post, right?
Well, before you throw your phone or laptop across the room, let us point out that Día de los Muertos, or “Day of the Dead,” is an ancient cultural celebration that far pre-dates Halloween and is based on honoring ancestors and not scaring little kids and hoarding candy.
So get with the program!

Worth The Waite
(OK, that was pretty bad.)
For those of you who remember the British bands of the late 70s that brought pop sounds and androgyny to fight off disco, John Waite is the real deal.
The former lead singer of “The Baby’s,” Waite has dropped the Bowie-esque appearance, but still sings with the same passion and clarity of his early days.
At the Arcada in St. Charles.

And Finally…
…a popular fall ritual in Geneva, the Cocoa Crawl.
It’s a very pleasant experience if you’re into super-quaint downtowns (Geneva), that fall chill and, well, shopping.
To the dudes out there, yes, I know it conflicts with football. Three words: D-V-R.

We’ve given up on predicting the weather. The Weather Channel is always wrong. You’re on your own, folks.
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!
