You know this winter has gone on for too long when...

it's Thursday night and for your weekend entertainment you are seriously considering:

Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunge
Jump into the freezing cold waters of Twin Lakes Recreation area to raise money for the Special Olympics.
Palatine High School VIP Dinner Dance
27th annual dinner and auction event
The Bridge Beats the Winter Blues
Casual night of dinner and friendly but competitive games.


And, yes, even though I love owls, I want to scream,


Owl Prowl
Learn about the special adaptations owls have as silent predators and why they are important members of the wildlife community. Take a hike and try to lure owls out with recorded calls. Event is for adults only.
(Adults only!?!)
