Dear Friends:

It’s sizzling summertime and we have some really cool trips planned! We will start July with a Day in Geneva featuring their 3 1/2 hour CRUISE AND TOUR of The Black Point Estate and the Elburn Meat Market on way home. The only way to follow that up is with a Mystery Trip. Then we close out July with an Evening Trip, Broadway Chicago style, at the Oriental Theater’s An American in Paris. Dinner will be first at a Petterino’s!

August will begin as we take a trip out to Rock Island’s Circa '21 dinner Playhouse for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. This is followed up as we travel back to Munster, Indiana Theater at the Center ~ for a Chicagoland Premiere The Tin Woman. Next, we’ll travel up to Wisconsin to Potawatomi Casino, they’ve got you covered when you come to play! The fun continues at Light Opera Works, which is to change its name to Music Theater Works presents "Gypsy," lunch first at The Farmhouse in Evanston. And we end August how we began July, with a scenic cruise featuring a full lunch served aboard the Spirit of Peoria. The cruise will travel the Mississippi River. Once back on shore we’ll have time to shop and enjoy Grafton.

Forest Park Groovin’ in The Grove returns this summer. Wander over to the Altenheim Picnic Grove on Madison Street and enjoy Live Entertainment with refreshments & beverages available for Purchase. It is a great way to spend a summer evening.

Love,

Karen
