RUSHVILLE — Listen to your friends, your neighbors, your fellow community members, the Rushville Community Band is back, and you won't want to miss it. Every summer, families spread out their lawn chairs on the historic Rushville Square, kids chase fireflies near the gazebo, and neighbors catch up while live music fills the evening air. It's one of those simple, good things that people around here look forward to, and this year, the
Community Band is bringing it back for three special nights:
● Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 7:00 PM
● Sunday, July 19, 2026, at 7:00 PM
● Sunday, August 2, 2026, at 7:00 PM
Performances are held at the gazebo on Rushville Square and are always free and open to the public. Bring a lawn chair, bring the bug spray, and bring the whole family.

Illinois Extension is excited to announce that CPR in Schools Training Kits are now available for community partners, schools, and organizations to borrow—thanks to the generous support of the American Heart Association. These kits provide an accessible, hands‑on way to teach life‑saving skills across Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren counties.
“CPR is a vital skill that everyone should know, and providing this training throughout Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren counties will help more people be prepared to act when it matters most.” Said Tara Heath, Extension County Director.
Each kit includes video‑led instruction and materials to train 10–20 participants in approximately 45–60 minutes, making it easy for anyone to coordinate a session—no prior CPR experience required.
Kits are available at all local Extension offices (Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren Counties) and can be requested online at go.illinois.edu/CPR . A one‑week notice is requested for pickup, and with two weeks’ advance notice, additional kits can be delivered to an office location if needed. Borrowers will be asked to complete a brief demographic sheet so Illinois Extension can report community impact.
Questions may be directed to Shelby Carlson, Youth Development Educator, via email, srcarls2@illinois.edu.
These CPR kits offer a simple, effective way for local groups to build confidence, preparedness, and stronger, safer communities.
