A Tribute to Two Legendary Bands

Hot on the heels of their 2018 Summer Concert Tour, the five core band members of Chicago Rewired were sparked with the idea to start a secondary tribute act that was a hard-driving, fist pumping, rock and roll force. After a long brainstorming session, where numerous well-known artists were considered, drummer/bandleader Mike Graci asked a prominent industry agent what he had a need for in the roster of tribute acts he represented. His answer caught everyone by surprise, a hybrid tribute to the bands REO Speedwagon and Survivor. Hence, REO Survivor was born.

Secret Society of Crafters – Hearts on Fiber

Aug 8 @ 10:00 a.m.

208 South Main Street

Crafting is more fun with other people, which is why we created the “Secret” Society of Crafters. The title says “secret,” but we’re a not-so-secret, not-so-exclusive group who meets to stitch, craft, crochet, knit, sit and talk. We may or may not talk about knitting, yarn bombing, hand dying, or the latest stitch. We may even talk about world domination. You won’t know unless you come. Connect with crafters in the area, find the motivation to pick up that project again, and benefit from the wisdom of a passionate crafting group. The “Secret” Society of Crafters meets outside the store every Wednesday and Sunday at 10:00 AM weather permitting. We hope to see you there!
