Mt. Carroll

Before the kids go trick-or-treating at October's end, Mount Carroll attracts the kids on the weekend before the spooky holiday for a festival full of fun, shopping and running around town. This year’s event is 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26.

"Million Dollar Quartet Christmas" features music that Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash made together in 1956, as well as holiday classics.

Vendors offer a variety of items from produce to soap. Food trucks are also on site.

First-time and faster, more reliable internet service is coming to underserved areas of Whiteside and Carroll counties, thanks to about $10.3 million in state Rebuild Illinois funds awarded to three area providers.

The Lee/Ogle and Carroll County public transportation systems are getting an infusion of state money to expand facilities and, in LOTS’ case, to add a pair of electric buses, the governor’s office said in a news release Wednesday.

The University of Illinois Extension for Carroll, Lee and Whiteside counties released its seasonal calendar, which includes two programs designed to directly help farming.

The goal of the Timber Lake Theater and DePaul cinematic arts department is to use Dec. 11 broadcast to lay the groundwork so the 2022 season can be available on livestream.
