Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

The Capital Area Concert Band (The CACB) will perform on Tuesday, December 3, 2024 at 7:00 pm at The Trutter Center on the campus of Lincoln Land Community College, 5250 Shepherd Road, Springfield, IL.

This free, one-hour concert will include a fanfare prelude on “Ode to Joy,” a ragtime two-step by Scott Joplin, and an assortment of Christmas tunes including excerpts from “The Nutcracker,” a medley of Christmas songs from the 1950s, and Leroy Anderson favorites “Bugler’s Holiday,” and “Sleigh Ride.”

Formed in 1974, The CACB celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2024 with a series of community concerts to share their love of performing while sharing the joy of live music with the Springfield community. Currently, fifty volunteer musicians, ranging in age from 20-80, perform at malls, parks, and community festivals as well as nursing homes, schools, churches, and senior centers. Some of the original band members from 1974 continue to perform with the band today.

For more information about this concert, please call 217.971.5008, email at caconcertband@gmail.com, or visit The CACB website at https://sites.google.com/site/capitalareaconcertband/home.

During the holidays, we often find ourselves fondly recalling the past. This year, add remembering when you first tuned into 91.9 FM. Come January, we’ve been on the air for 50 years!

We wove the station’s golden birthday into our year-end drive: With “Hear, Here! 50 Years of Service” as our theme, we’re focusing on the half-century of public radio goodness NPR Illinois has brought to this region.

Over the years, listeners like you have been a part of our mission to keep our region accurately informed by financially supporting our work. Please continue to advance our mission of informing and bringing together to community by making a gift during the year-end drive.

In the summer of 1824, the Illinois General Assembly was on the brink of changing our state constitution to permit slavery outright. Though the Northwest Ordinance designated Illinois a “free territory" in 1787, proslavery sentiment in southern Illinois was strong and challenged the efforts to keep the new state of Illinois free. Dr. Caroline Kisiel, Illinois Humanities Road Scholar, will present on the people and events that culminated in Illinois remaining a free state.
