Weekend Events October 9-12
The week kicks off with a fantastic Business Workshop on Tuesday for all you aspiring entrepreneurs. But the real party gets started on Thursday! You can grab your broomstick for Witches Night Out in Sycamore, catch some tunes from Craig Mathey at Ellwood's, or test your knowledge at the Trick or Trivia night. If that's not enough, there’s also an Open Mic Night and a Salsa Dance Demonstration happening in DeKalb! 💃
Friday is absolutely stacked with fun! Start your morning with some creativity at the Crafting Community event, then get ready for an evening full of choices. From the DCRNC's First Ever Trunk or Treat to live music with Cole Brandt + Cousins Maine Lobster, and the Hallowsrock II show at Fargo Venue, the options are endless. Plus, don't miss the spooky BOO’ze & Spirits Flashlight Tour at the Egyptian Theatre! 👻
The weekend keeps the good times rolling. Saturday is perfect for sipping and shopping in Hinckley, designing characters at Coffee & Comics, or joining a Dungeons & Dragons campaign at the library. As evening approaches, you can face your fears at Scare Night! or catch a punk show at Fargo Skatepark.
Finally, wind down your week on Sunday with the DuKane Abate Toy & Food Run, enjoy the soulful sounds of Lou Shields, or relax with a calming Sunday Sound Bath in Sycamore.
