Community Calendar

The McDonough County Genealogical Society's May meeting will be held at the McDonough County Courthouse. Gretchen DeJaynes will be presenting the program on McDonough County Vital Records that are found at the Courthouse. Please use the Handicap Accessible door on the Southeast corner of the Courthouse to enter and go to the County Clerk's office. The meeting is free and open to the public.

For toddlers ages 1 - 5 and their caregivers. Discounted admission.

The Peace Drum Circle, sponsored by the Shared Community Action Group, is intended to bring area residents and visitors together in an informal, no-pressure activity that can be enjoyed by the community as a whole. Facilitators, led by Michael Thompson, will share a variety of percussion instruments with participants, but those who have an instrument are invited to bring theirs. No special skill is required but humor and openness are welcome.

There will be no Peace Drum Circle on Thursday, June 23, as Heritage Days gets underway.

Songbag Concerts are a collaboration between the Carl Sandburg Historic Site Association and Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Carl Sandburg was a collector and performer of America’s folk songs. The concert series is named in honor of Sandburg’s book “The American Songbag” published in 1927. The Carl Sandburg State Historic Site includes the home where the famed poet and biographer was born. For more information, visit www.sandburg.org.
